Searching For New Hotels In Various Loyalty Programs
A recent post on this blog was about a new hotel in Venice with potential for a high value redemption of Choice Privileges points. Consequently, I thought it might be useful to go over a few resources for finding new properties in various hotel chain loyalty programs. Whether it’s a recent construction or a rebranding of an existing hotel, it’s nice to discover new options for redeeming your points. [Read more…]

If you have plans to travel within the Atlantic Bubble, check these out to see if any of them will help you save a bit of cash or earn a few extra loyalty points. [Read more…]

Best Western “Tanks-A-Lot” $25 Gift Card Promo (June 15 – August 31, 2020)

Best Western Gift Card Promo – Purchase by September 30, 2020
I received an email yesterday about a new Best Western promotion. When you buy a $100 Best Western gift card, you’ll get a $20 bonus card.

Best Western Promo – Stay 2 Nights, Get a Free Night (Feb. 18 – April 20, 2020)
A good Best Western promotion has returned. Like last time, when you stay two nights (consecutively or separately), you will get a free night voucher to be used within a limited time. I like straightforward promos like this and it’s possible to extract decent value from it with a bit of planning. Unfortunately, you can only earn one free night. [Read more…]

Although I did find a few interesting options, I certainly wish there were a lot more. Not only that, several of the options I did find a few days ago have since vanished. [Read more…]
