Save this so you have the template ready before your next trip 🏨 This is the exact email template I use before a stay to politely ask if any complimentary upgrades are available, and believe it or not, it works about 80% of the time! A few tips that have helped me: ✨ Send this to the hotel’s front desk or reservations email (ChatGPT can be very helpful in finding emails if you can’t find one on the website 😉 ✨ Send your email 2–5 days before check-in. ✨ Be kind and keep it short. ✨ Mention if you're celebrating a special occasion (only if it's true!) It takes less than two minutes to send, and I've received room upgrades, better views, early check-in, late checkout and special treats brought to the room simply because I asked. Here’s what to send ⬇️ Email Subject: Upcoming Stay - [Your Confirmation Number] Hi [Hotel Name] team! I’m so excited for my stay with you from [dates]! I’m really looking forward to staying at your beautiful property. [Optional - I’m a ( their loyalty program) member and I always love staying at (hotel brand) properties]! I’ll be traveling with my (partner/family/friend) and we can’t wait to explore the area. We’re traveling for [special occasion] and I wanted to reach out ahead of time to see if there might be any complimentary upgrades, such as a room with a better view, a higher floor, or anything that might make our trip extra special. Either way, we're thrilled to visit and looking forward to a wonderful stay. Thank you so much for considering, and we'll see you soon!
