Question 1

How do I book hotels cheaper using a VPN?

Accepted Answer

Set your VPN to a Thailand server before searching on Agoda or Booking.com. Thai IP addresses are shown prices 20-40% lower than US or European IPs — for hotels anywhere in the world.

Question 2

Is using a VPN to find cheaper hotel prices legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, using a VPN is completely legal in most countries. You are simply browsing the internet from a different location. CheapStay teaches you how to find the best publicly available price.

Question 3

Which is cheaper — Agoda or Booking.com?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the destination and dates. CheapStay compares both in real time so you always see the lowest price. In Asia, Agoda is often cheaper. In Europe, Booking.com tends to win.

Question 4

What credit card is best for hotel bookings?

Accepted Answer

Chase Sapphire Preferred earns 2x points on hotels with no foreign fees — best for most travelers. Amex Gold has the biggest welcome bonus. Capital One Venture is the simplest — 2x miles on everything.

Question 5

Can I get cashback on hotel bookings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TopCashback and Rakuten offer 3–8% cashback on Agoda and Booking.com. Stack this with Thai IP pricing and a travel credit card for maximum savings.
