Orbitz
Travel on, now:
Orbitz is easy-to-use OTA, but something that makes it different is its strong in-house loyalty program. Every booking earns Orbucks, and 1 Orbuck is worth $1.
The Orbucks earning rate is much better for hotels than flights and Orbucks can only be redeemed for hotels. The only catch is generally, you can only earn Orbucks on prepaid hotel stays.
