a rant. resort fees out of control undeniably. established how inhospitable i feel resort fees are look at five ways to try to beat them. first trick is to check your rate. we recently saw a hotel in honolulu where west coasters could book a special rate that doesn't include a resort fee. the thing is, it wasn't the

first rate the hotel's webside showed. had to click more rates and scroll down to see it. poke around looking. tip, if you already have a reservation you're not necessarily looked into a rate with a resort fee. many hotel reservations can be revised up until the week you arrive. so check to see if you can change your rate now to save money on your vacation. second, comparison shop for package deals. here's one good example. some warehouse clubs offer members hotel deals that do not have a resort fee. third, see if your company has a negotiated hotel rate. many employers, especially big ones, broker deals with hotel chains. part of that negotiation is nixing resort fees and sometimes you can use your corporate rate for leisure travel. thanks, boss. four, see if your loyalty pays. at least one hotel chain waives resort fees for top-tier

members. hyatt, staying so many nights a year. and five, use points instead of cash to pay for your stay makes sense even if you have to buy the points. here's why. many hotels do not charge resort fees when redeeming their points. i've done this several times. here's an example. i researched a hotel in honolulu. five-night stay, king room. nothing special, in july. room rate, resort fee and taxes totaled $3,324. if you book the same exact stay using points and you buy all of those points tshs will cost you $2,800. total savings, $524. and there's no resort fee. >> always with a great tip. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, tracking extreme heat. a live look of smoggy skies in>.
