I created this thread to document previous double points promos. These are NOT double VISA points, but double the number of points earned for the stay. A very excellent promo and since the question comes up frequently, I thought it might be nice to have a separate thread so when we do a search its title is indicative of the information contained therein. I had provided this info in another post, but since I was unable to find that specific post, and took the time to go through a couple dozen posts to verify this info, I thought I would try my best to make it more easily accessible on the next go round.
Previous double points for stays when paying with Visa promotions were:
Oct 15, 2001 - Mar 31, 2002 (also double nights stay credit)
Sep 15, 2003 - Jan 31, 2004
Oct 1, 2005 - Jan 31, 2006
If the pattern prevails it won't come around again until Oct 2007.
There was also a targeted promo (not Visa related) for ONLY those receiving the targeted email that occurred from July 15, 2004 to September 15, 2004 which resulted in double points being earned after the first stay.
If you wish to add or correct any info contained herein, please post the source of the supporting info and when validated, I will add that info to this post.
