New "Point Stretcher" program?

Hi all,

Did a search but couldn't find anything on this. Since the PS program is dead, is there any other award scheme that will allow less points for a three-night stay? GLON/AXON require four nights, and I'm already aware of "Points and Cash" options. I want to book three nights at the Conrad Dublin, but would like to beat the 50K per night redemption.

Thanks!

Q4-2012 promotion

You could try to score some Q3FN certificates if they ever return.

No. The P&M really took place of the PS program.
So there is no other kind of discounts for a 3nt stay. (just the 4+ nights), from my understanding.

Sometimes if you are lucky and book far enough in advance, you may see premium rooms for less money or few points than the standard rooms.
If you see this, you might want to grab it quickly and don't make changes to your reservation (changes to the reservation usually result in the loss of this lucky caught rate ).

that was a great promo, but I don't see it returning this year.

As I suspected...thanks for your input.

a past promo for a reward cert for a free night that was earned with 4 stays or 10 nights. (i think it was offered in 2010 and also the last quarter of 2011, but very unlikely to be offered last quarter of this year).

The Conrad Dublin is nice, but isn't worth 50K points. Book a cash stay, either there or at the nearby Hilton Dublin City.
