Here’s something most travelers don’t realize; many of the best perks aren’t listed on a booking page. They’re unlocked through partnerships, timing, or simply knowing what to ask.
At Postcard Getaways, I’ve helped clients secure perks like complimentary breakfasts, surprise upgrades, and spa credits worth hundreds of dollars — at no extra cost. Consider this your insider’s “special delivery”: the travel perks that transform your trip from standard to seamless.
Room Upgrades
Hotels often keep suites available until close to arrival. Mentioning a special occasion (honeymoon, anniversary, milestone birthday) increases your chances of being moved up. Advisors can often confirm these perks in advance through programs like Hyatt Privé, Virtuoso, or Inclusive Collection partnerships.
Complimentary Breakfasts & Resort Credits
Who doesn’t love waking up to breakfast with a view — without worrying about the bill? Many partnerships include daily complimentary breakfast plus resort credits that can be applied to spa treatments, fine dining, or excursions. This can save hundreds of dollars during your stay.
VIP Airport Lounges & Transfers
Instead of waiting in crowded terminals, you could be relaxing in a lounge with free Wi-Fi, cocktails, and comfy seating. Some resort packages even include private airport transfers — a stress-free way to begin and end your trip.
Special Occasion Surprises
Hotels love to celebrate. Mentioning your anniversary, birthday, or engagement can mean arriving to bubbly, chocolate-dipped strawberries, or even a room decorated with flowers. These thoughtful touches make memories last a lifetime.
When you book online, you’re treated like a reservation number. When you book through an advisor, you’re treated like a VIP. Why? Because advisors have relationships that unlock perks most people don’t know exist.
Here’s what I can often secure for my clients:
These examples prove that perks aren’t just “nice extras.” They create lasting memories, reduce stress, and add enormous value to a trip.
The little things matter. Free breakfast, spa credits, or surprise upgrades can turn a trip into something extraordinary — without costing you a dime. The key is knowing what to ask for and working with someone who can unlock those hidden doors.
At Postcard Getaways, I specialize in securing the VIP perks that most travelers miss. If you’re ready to travel like a VIP, let’s plan your next trip — signed, sealed, and delivered with extras.
