Hyatt adds automatic surcharge to your stay but there's an easy way to avoid it

HOTEL guests have found a way around an automatic surcharge.

Hyatt Place Hotels are known for incredible guest accommodations.

Not everyone wants to be on a strict schedule while on vacation, so the hotel offers early and late check-in for those who just want to go with the flow.

The service is only available to members and must be requested on the reservation beforehand.

Early check-in goes from 9am until noon, and late check-in starts at 2pm.

Unfortunately, it comes at a cost.

For members, both early and late check-in will run guests $10.

Discoverist members will pay $10 for early check-in, but late check-in is free.

Finally, members in the Explorist and Globalist tiers will not incur an added cost for either request.

Hotel guests also noticed that Hyatt Hotels charges what it calls a "daily destination fee," which amounts to $39.99 – not including tax.

The fee goes toward amenities including Wi-Fi, a $15 daily market beverage credit, and free local and international calls, according to Hyatt's policy.

Most hotels have what's commonly known as a resort fee.

These fees are usually mandatory, but there is a way to avoid them at Hilton hotels.

Guests who join the Hilton Honors rewards program can collect points while enjoying perks like free Wi-Fi during their stay.

Once members gather enough points, they can use them to bypass fees.

"No resort fees on Reward stays booked using all Points, or for promotional free night stays," Hilton's policy reads.

When booking, guests should look at the "price details" section to see the breakdown of costs.

This is especially important because charges and fees vary by location.

Going on vacation also usually includes a flight.

A frequent flyer shared their hack that keeps them from spending money on extra baggage fees.

TikToker Sammy (@bookthistrip) shared that she buys a large item when she's waiting to board and gets a large shopping bag.

Then, she puts her carry-on purse inside the bag and disguises it with the item she bought on top.

This trick obviously only works with smaller items, but it's worth trying.

“Yes, they’re so strict about bringing on any extra carry-ons but any ‘shopping’ you do is fine. Haha, genius,” commented one person on the video.

“I’ve been doing that as well. It does work!” posted another.

A major university recently added a surcharge on tuition that can cost as much as $820 on top of other fees.

Plus, see the automatic surcharge that could soon be applied to "everyday goods and services" in one state.
