They had a nice $20/night bonus for using AMEX. I bought some $100 AMEX gift cards so I could partake of this nice bonus. I was getting an off strip 2* Vegas hotel for many Sun/Mon nite stays for a friend of mine for $5/night, $17.95 all in for 2 nights. Not a bad hotel & I'd stayed there a couple of times with my friend. I also got the Costa Mesa Wyndham for $20/night, the Woodfin down in North San Diego (Mira Mesa zone) for $20 with free breakfast. ^ Many other bargains too numerous to mention including a couple of $1/night hotels in Atlanta & Phoenix that were not too bad. (nicer than Motel 6). These are after the $20/night AMEX bonuses.
The bargains today are nice but not quite to the level of 2001-2002 yet.
