Twice is nice…
Perks, points or free nights? However you slice it, you can’t go wrong. As the clock begins to tick on the lucrative summer hotel season, the biggest brands are looking to cram in extra guests, and there’s no better way to succeed than by offering incentives to extend that big trip. Here are five extremely lucrative hotel promotions, worth cashing in on…
Hilton Double Points
Hilton has extended their ever popular double points offer, which will now run through September 9th, 2018. If you have any upcoming Hilton stays, or plan to book some, registering for the offer will score you double points. Yes, that means instead of the usual 10 points per dollar earned when you stay at Hilton, you’ll earn 20 points per dollar! If you were to spend $100, you’d g 2,000 points. If you were to pend $1,000, you’d earn 20,000 points. Here’s the link to register for the offer. Note: the double points count for stays completed by September 9th.
Hyatt Double Elite Status Credits
If there was a contest for “coolest” chain hotel brand, it would undoubtedly be Andaz. The high end Hyatt brand offers a quirky, more boutique approach to great sleeps around the world, and if you engage with the brand, you’ll be rewarded with 2 night credits for every night you stay thru August 31st. That’s right: you get credit for staying two nights, every time you stay one. Double the pleasure, double the fun. If you stayed 30 nights between now and August 31st, you’d achieve the highest Hyatt elite guest tier of “Globalist”. Earning anything twice as fast is nice. You don’t even need to register, just book an Andaz stay directly with Hyatt.
Marriott & SPG Points “Free Night” Arbitrage
On August 18th, a magic window will present itself where all hotels in the SPG portfolio will become bookable using Marriott Rewards Points. All existing SPG Points will convert at a 1:3 ratio, meaning 20,000 SPG points will become 60,000 Marriott Rewards Points. Under the current SPG program, the highest end hotels require 35,000 points per night. However, come August 18th, when these hotels join Marriott, they’ll require just 20,000 SPG or 60,000 Marriott Points per night, which is a savings of 15,000 SPG or 45,000 Marriott Points PER NIGHT. We’re talking St. Regis, W, Luxury Collection and all that goodness, for just 60,000 Marriott Points per night, for bookings through December 31st, 2018.
