How to Get Hotel Discounts with OpenTable Points

How to get cheap hotel nights using OpenTable Dining Rewards for Kayak discounts

Back in my days as an executive assistant, I racked up thousands of OpenTable Rewards points by booking lunches and dinners for my boss under my own account.  I'd always try and book his dinners for OpenTable restaurants that would give me the 1,000 point bonus instead of just the regular 100 points per reservation through the site.At the time my options for cashing out on my OpenTable credits by either redeeming them for cash off of my bills at restaurants or by getting Amazon gift cards.  The foodie in me always thought about using the Dining Rewards for going to nice restaurants I couldn't afford, but the compulsive online shopper in me held onto points until I could max out the Amazon money.Today I just saw an article on Lifehacker talk about a new option that OpenTable now … [Read more...]
