We have used the Hotel Tonight app for awhile now. It is one of the simpler a free mobile apps when searching for discounted hotel rooms up to 7 days in advance. We have liked it because it’s not part of the Expedia and corporate portfolio yet that is and because it’s simple.
It works best for booking hotels last minute. If you haven’t already signed-up for Hotel Tonight, you can use my promotion code “DSANDERS1” to earn a $25 credit on your first booking.
Hotel Tonight just started a new loyalty program dubbed HT Perks.
The HT Perks Program
There are 3 levels to Hotel Tonight’s HT Perks program. The more you spend, the higher your status. And the higher your status, the more of a discount you’ll receive.
Level 1
Spend $100+ with Hotel Tonight
Extra-discounted rates
Level 2
Spend $750+ with Hotel Tonight
5% off Level 1 rates
Exclusive offers and surprises
Level 3
Spend $5,000+ with Hotel Tonight
10% off Level 1 rates
With this level you get more exclusive offers and surprises than Level 2 and VIP customer support.
All of your past bookings you’ve made count towards your status and your status will never expire. That that’s pretty awesome for an app. Now if they can just upgrade my rooms for me!

If you are like me you do not have the best of vision especially when it comes to trying to read a restaurant menu in the dark. This is one of the biggest things I have trouble with when traveling to a foreign country or anywhere. It’s worse in a foreign country because of the language barrier on top of not being able to see the small menu print and find the English version if there is any.
You can use your iPhone as a magnifying glass to help with this problem in the new ios 10 update. This is a feature that no one really talks about but can be extremely useful.
Use Your iPhone As a Magnifying Glass
A new Accessibility function in iOS 10 allows you to use your iPhone as a high-tech magnifying glass. You can focus, zoom, turn on the LED light, use special light filters and even freeze the image.
How to Start using a Magnifying Glass on iPhone
Go into Settings -> then General -> then Accessibility -> Magnifier (Turn On)
It will be especially helpful ordering food in a theater grill when I can’t see the menu in the dark. Other uses are to check out anomalies on your skin that you can’t see that well. Although you can always just take a photo to have for your dermatologist or doctor. You can use it for the back of your TV or other electronics to see part numbers or other small print information you are seeking.
