I usually stay at Starwood Hotels primarily, but they aren\u2019t everywhere so I\u2019m forced to stay at other hotels. This is a guide on how to find an Orbitz Best Price Guarantee and get free Orbucks in the process.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, I wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2015\/02\/02\/overview-orbitz-rewards-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">An Overview of the Orbitz Rewards Program<\/a> where I explained the benefits of Silver, Gold, and Platinum elite status and their generous Orbucks policy that goes with each membership tier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16619\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3.jpg\" alt=\"orbitzoverview3\" width=\"624\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3.jpg 624w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3-300x67.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3-400x89.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3-200x44.jpg 200w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2015\/02\/orbitzoverview3-150x33.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you can find an Orbitz hotel on sale for a lower price than the main Orbitz.com site, then you are able to invoke the Orbitz Best Price Guarantee policy.
