Does anyone know how often are the room rates being updated?
I noticed it has gone up slightly compared to last week.

It should be dynamically priced via GDS, so room rates will constantly be changing with availability and property prices being adjusted.

Can you be more specific about which prices have gone up? If the properties are overseas it could be a matter of forex fluctuations.

Thank you It is for a hotel in Tokyo.
The forex fluctuation do make sense as it only gone up around $10.

I booked a room via Amex Travel. However, the same room is cheaper at booking.com, agoda, expedia and trivsgo. Is this due to rooms from these sites are not as good as Amex Travel.

No.

It's due to the AMEX premium.
