Quick hit: free HotelSlash membership

AutoSlash is getting into the hotel game with a new search product, appropriately called HotelSlash. After poking around on it for half an hour I didn’t see anything special about it (like Venti and a thousand similar sites, it’s just a way to pass along some of the commission paid by hotels as savings to customers), but having alternate search engines can sometimes be unexpectedly lucrative, so you may as well sign up now while it’s free using promo code “FREE4LIFE”.

They claim they’ll start charging membership fees at some point, which they say they have to do to offer prices below the “publicly” advertised ones.
