Staying the night in a hotel typically involves spending money, and sometimes it can cost a lot.
But a new loyalty programme could mean Brits end up earning cash for their breaks away.
Popular booking site Hotels.com has launched a new scheme for UK customers.
Called Hotels.comRewards, it offers members a whopping £100 in Hotels.comCash for every 10 eligible nights they stay in a hotel.
This can be collected over 10 consecutive nights, or separate stays across various hotels and holiday homes.
Every £1 in Hotels.comCash equates to £1 in real life, and it can be spent on thousands of accommodation options across the website.
The new loyalty programme will be rolled out between April 8 and May 8 – just in time for customers looking for a hotel perfect for their summer holiday.

It is completely free to join and those who are already signed up for the previous system, One Key, will move over automatically. They won’t lose any rewards or tiers already collected.
Even better, customers who do manage to collect the £100 reward will also unlock exclusive discounts and perks.
‘Contrary to what has become the norm across much of the travel industry, loyalty programmes don’t have to be complicated,’ Hotels.com general manager Hari Nair told the Daily Mail.
‘They should not feel like homework. Travellers tell us they want rewards that feel simple and easy to understand, so that’s what we set out to do.’
Hari explained the concept and added: ‘It’s a simple construct: stay 10 nights and get £100 back to put towards future stays at any hotel and at any time.
‘No blackout dates or complicated maths required. These are your rewards and you should get to use them.’
Member Prices also give customers discounts of at least 10 per cent on thousands of properties around the world.
More bookings mean higher tiers, which leads to an impressive increase in savings.
The Silver Tier offers 15 per cent or more off, while Gold and Platinum members are treated to a 20 per cent discount at selected hotels.
Silver, Gold and Platinum members also enjoy added benefits at VIP Access properties – hotels that consistently meet higher standards of services – where perks may include free breakfast or room upgrades.
The accommodation site also boasts a ‘Save Your Way’ feature that allows travellers to have even further flexibility on their discounts.
It means they can either save instantly at the time of booking with their discount or choose to bank those savings as rewards for future use.
