Booking the same rate you could book through central reservations shouldn't be a problem, but be aware that some hotels can offer walk-up rates that don't qualify for earning points, even if they're not contract rates.

In fact, on checkout from a Clarion the other day, there was a line on my statement that said "this rate is eligible", but "if the hotel changed the rate, you might not qualify for earning points".

So because booking direct doesn't narrow you down to only valid rates the way the online booking might, that's the danger with booking direct (if you aren't paying close attention to what rate they're giving you).

Plus of course, if booking direct, you've got to separately provide your member number, whereas when booking online while logged in that's all automatic.

interesting when by rate type, as can negotiate with staff/management on qualifying. great "points" when most on FT are focused on program.

Ascend Collection and Cambria hotels (most book through Choice Hotels)

Spend $150, get $30.

Unfortunately, where I tend to travel, I don't see these two Choice brands much, just Quality, Comfort, Sleep, Econo, Rodeway, Clarion, etc, over and over and over again.

Starting to get a tad frustrated that all the hotel offers are for within the U.S. I could use one for an upcoming trip to Canada.

Does anyone see offers for the Biz 2x card?

Must it be on its own log in so to see more than 1 or 2 offers?

I don't have it on its own login. I just synced my twitter account with that card and follow @amexOffers. Whenever they tweet an offer, I retweet it and it gets added to my 2x card. Now, all of these offers are cash back - no MR points offers - don't think those can be added by twitter.

I'll consider creating a separate login if I'll start getting targeted for MR points offers.

Virgin Atlantic, spend $500, get 10k MR points. Flight must originate in US.

VA flights are way overpriced from IAD. Not sure if it's worth pursuing this offer.

I really dont want to go the twitter route. The other AMEX cards see most cash offers, except the recent grocery store and the gas station ones. But we get the cell phone and cable tv offers on 6 cards, more than we can use, as well as the recent ATT one on 4 cards.
May be I need to remove it and set it up in separate log in to see whether it would improve anything.

I've had a separate login for the Business Plus for more than a month -- no change.

I’m so sick of restaurants or stupid food/wine subscription offers.
