That said the Marriott offer really doesn't look that great to me either. IHG has just put out its 1Q promos that reach 10K of their points for as little as 2 nights. That's more like it.

Sometimes, got to look for hotel-specific promos, in addition to those offered by the chain...

I just raked in 57,618 HH points from a single stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village 12/10-12/15

AMERICAN EXPRESS POINT BONUS 17,268
DOUBLE POINTS Q409 OFFER - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 13,267
Base Points - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 13,267
HAWAII CLUSTER 10,000 PTS OFFER - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 10,000
GOLD VIP BONUS - 25% 2009 - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 3,316
AMEX CO BRAND ONLINE BOOKING BONUS - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 500


UA DOUBLE DIP - HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE 0 1,326

You need not get anything for the MR promo. Just log onto your MR account and it will be sitting there ready for you to click on it. Also, there are reports you can call MR and get which ever promo you want - I have the 10 stays = 25,000 points version.

The current 25k for 4 stays promo is a decent offer, and the upcoming Stay on Us promo offering a free night after 4 stays or 10 nights appears to be good, though we of course need to see the details to know for sure.

As discussed in the thread I link, there are FT'ers (myself included) who were not targetted, I do know to log in to my account as disccused in that thread.

If a promotion starts on Jan. 5, but you have a five-night stay beginning Jan. 4, do the four nights from Jan. 5-9 count toward the ten-night requirement, or is the entire stay invalid?

bharv Dec 22, 2009 6:46 am

same for me
 
i have a 10 night stay starting Jan 4, i have no problem checking out on the 5th and checking back in, i just don't want to lose the entire stay. any idea as to when this will be announced

JDiver Dec 22, 2009 11:31 am

Or not - more economical for them that way. :D

Sorry to hear this - that blows! I would understand you not wanting to call them, but I bet you coould get it that way.

Is there a link to register for this promo? What's the deal?

travelexpert Dec 22, 2009 2:02 pm

In the face of the massive untimely devaluatin, Jeff Diskin (VP HH marketing) promised a boatload of fantastic public promotions this year.

Am I understanding that there is a new promo--but once again targeted?

AFAIK we're still waiting for official word on the promo from HH, the talk of a targeted promo in posts above refers to a Marriott Rewards promo, I believe.

Minneapolis Dec 23, 2009 8:24 am

I can't believe the details have not been released yet. Is HH waiting until 1/5/10?

Points Scrounger Dec 23, 2009 10:58 am

More likely Jan. 1st after the current Q4 promo expires

Well, Marriott announced their Q1 Megabonus promo last week and the '09 Q4 promo runs through 1/15/10. I think Hilton is just lazy and/or hates money. :td:

every one but hilton
 
Hyatt, Starwood, Marriott are all up Hilton where are you, guess you don't want people staying at your hotels

This might even be true. The January Sale rates are so good, the do not need any further promotions. I booked a Junior Suite at the Bentley for a midweek stay in London for 176 Euro incl. breakfast. All comparable hotels of the other chains had about double that price.
