Rate Monitoring & Auto Save
Last updated April 2, 2026
How does Room Rate Monitor work?
Gondola continuously monitors refundable hotel bookings in your Trips for lower rates. When a rate drop is detected for the same room and rate type, you receive an alert. With Auto Save enabled, eligible stays are automatically rebooked at no additional cost.
How does Auto Save save me money?
Enable Auto Save and link a payment card on your Trips page to authorize Gondola to automatically reprice stays at Marriott, Hyatt, or IHG properties. When price reductions occur, Gondola updates your reservation and you retain all savings. You may use a different card at check-in for rewards purposes. The platform reports average annual savings of $413 per user.
Do I have to book through Gondola to get price drop alerts?
No. Gondola monitors any refundable hotel booking added to your Trips. Rebooking through Gondola provides an extra 3-7% back in Gondola Cash alongside direct booking benefits.
Will Gondola monitor my points reservations for price drops too?
Yes. Both points and cash reservations receive monitoring for optimal rate identification.
How does flight fare monitoring work?
Gondola Silver and Gold subscribers receive fare tracking for eligible flights on Air Canada, Air France, Alaska, American, British Airways, Delta, Emirates, Frontier, JetBlue, Qatar Airways, Southwest, United, and Virgin Atlantic. Price drop notifications enable timely rebooking decisions.
