Your Next Trip Built for Less: Up to 10% Off Hotel Stays for Everyday Heroes.
Hotels.com offers verified first responders, active military personnel, healthcare workers, teachers, government employees, and students up to 10% off select hotel stays, plus up to 2.5% cash back when booking through ID.me Shop.
Claim It
Navigate to the Hotels.com store page on ID.me Shop. Select Unlock Deal or Verify with ID.me under your respective group (First Responder, Military, Nurse, etc.) and sign in to your ID.me account. Copy your generated single-use promotional code, search for eligible hotel stays on Hotels.com, choose the Pay Now option at checkout, and paste your coupon code into the payment field.
Occasionally, booking through the Hotels.com mobile app unlocks deeper discounts or higher rewards rates that aren't available on the desktop site.
Join the free loyalty program to earn OneKeyCash on eligible bookings, which can be used like cash to pay for future hotels, car rentals, or flights across Expedia, Hotels.com, and VRBO.
A standout feature of the loyalty program is the ability to earn one reward night for every ten nights stayed; once you collect ten "stamps," you receive a credit equal to the average value of those stays to apply toward a future booking. This "stay 10, get 1" system, paired with the app's real-time price tracking and secure, one-tap booking, ensures that users can easily secure the best possible value for their travel plans.
Look for properties marked with "Member Price" to instantly save an average of 15% or more on select hotels when signed into your account.
