Findmystay.com, a hotel booking site, has launched an offer for those who share their first or last name with popular politicians. If your first name is Rahul, Arvind, Sushma, Arun or Sonia or if you share your last name with Yadav, Gandhi, Soni or Antony, you can get discounts on your next hotel booking through the website. The ‘Big Gains for Big Names’ offer, valid on Findmystay’s unique feature, Find My Stay @ My Price, will allow patrons to get rebates of up to INR 1000 on bookings made during the election period, till May 16, 2014.
Find My Stay @ My Price feature lets you bid lower and choose the discount you want for your hotel stays. Just put in your preferences and the price which you wish to pay and wait for the website to give you multiple hotel options matching your price and preferences. The discount that you get by matching your first name or surname with a list of selected politicians is in addition to what you save by bidding with Find My stay @ My Price feature.
Rohit Khetrapal, co-founder, Findmystay.com, said, “We often see various OTAs offering discounts and benefits at the time of festivals or big sporting events, etc. Since we believe in being different and quirky at Findmystay.com, we decided to make election season, something that is normally seen as a very serious time, fun and exciting. Those named Narendra or Arun, may have never realised that one day their name could save them a few precious bucks on their next holiday. We have prepared a list of over 200 politicians with whom if your first name or surname matches you get an additional discount of upto INR 1000. One already gets immense savings by bidding on hotel bookings through Findmystay.com as compared to anywhere else. To top it, those having names shared with politicians in the race for parliamentary seats get an even bigger and more amazing advantage this time.”
The bookings using this offer can be made only till counting day i.e. May 16. They can, however, be made for anytime till the end of the year. The list of names eligible for the offer is available on the website.
