Most of the sex appeal for collecting points and miles is found in upgraded flights. There’s something about a bed on a plane or expensive vintage champagne that just captivates people. Once you’ve had that experience, you begin to wonder what else you might be able to pull off to elevate your travels without paying; and very quickly five star hotel stays come to mind. In that pursuit, earning your points twice as fast is the best way to go and it couldn’t be easier…
Sign Up For Double (Or Triple) Points Promos, Even If You’re Not Sure You’re Going To Use Them…
Hotels don’t just want you to stay one night, they want your loyalty. One of the best ways to encourage that sort of behavior is offering double or triple the standard amount of points for each night you spend, bringing you doubly (or triply) close to a free night. You should always be earning points for your stays, you have no obligation to stick with one chain and earning double points for free just makes sense, no hotel credit card needed. Oh and one last thing, don’t forget that these chains own tons of boutique and design brands as well, which all count…
With Double Points You Can Earn FREE Nights Or Suite Upgrades From Just One Night…
Let’s take Marriott, where you usually receive 10 points per dollar spent. With a double points bonus on a $300 stay, rather than earning 3,000 points, you’d earn 6,000. With free nights starting as low as 6,000 points, that’s pretty lucrative. On the higher end, a night at the Ritz Carlton can run as low as 50,000 points per night, which is a decent conversion! If SUITES are your thing, paid Hyatt stays can be upgraded to a suite for just 6,000 points!
