Is anyone familiar with the Hotels.com program? It's a refreshingly simple hotel frequent stay program: spend 10 nights in any partner hotel and receive credit for one free night regardless of cost (up to $400 that is). Pretty nice deal. Spend 10 nights at cheaper hotels and receive a free 5* room in downtown NYC or Paris or wherever.
That's not a bad deal by itself, but what really makes this a great program, if true of course, is that I'm told that you can receive credit in your other loyalty program (Hilton, Starwood, etc.) at the same time you are crediting stays with the hotels.com deal if the hotel is in that particular program too. The only problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Doesn't each program require you to book through their own system? So how can they say you can still receive credit with, say Hilton Honors and also hotels.com? You can't very well book the same room through two different programs can you?
If anyone knows how to go about this, please let me know. If this is actually possible, it's a deal and a half!
