More Hotel Discounts for Residency Interviews

Hotel costs can add up when traveling to residency interviews. There are several ways to save money when making hotel reservations, assuming the program doesn't put you up themselves:

• If the program has an agreement with a hotel for a special rate, try to utilize it. However, still shop around because you might actually be able to save more if you book it yourself via an online discount site like Hotwire.
• If someone in your family or you yourself has a AAA membership, use it! You can save 5-15% at many hotels with a AAA card.
• If you are a member of AMSA, they also offer savings up to 15% at select hotels.
