StayVancouverHotels is back and better than ever (back in 2023)
 
two changes now make the StayVancouverHotels offer much better;
- you get a full pre-paid visa card for each of the first two nights
- the reservations are refundable

from stayvancouverhotels.com:
Promo Code: VISA
The Deal:
Get a Visa Reward Card worth: $75, $100 or $125 for the first night AND another $75, $100, or $125 for the second night of your booking. PLUS a $50 Visa Reward card for each and every subsequent night booked, to a maximum stay of 5 nights total. Bookings under this promotion are cancellable up to 48 hours prior to check-in.
• Book through StayVancouverHotels.com using promo code “Visa”.
• Booking subsequent nights as separate reservations will be treated the same as a single reservation for multiple nights.
• The first night and second nights qualify for the full reward amount plus a $50 Visa Reward card per up to 3 subsequent nights.
• Three bookings maximum per person.
• Stay must be between now and September 15, 2020.
• Bookings are cancellable up to 48 hours before check-in date.
• Visa Reward card(s) will be delivered at check-in.
• Bookings can be made using VISA, MasterCard, or American Express.
• This offer is limited and may end at any time.
• Please note that hotel amenities & services may be limited. Please check with the hotel directly.
• StayVancouverHotels.com Terms & Conditions Apply.
NB: i'm seeing a problem with the prices displayed on the initial page. They are very low and then when you click on the "room rates" or "view & book" the prices go up. for example, i'll see the sheraton wall centre for $137 but when i click on it, it goes to $209. Regular rates on that hotel's website show $169 for those dates and sometimes i'll see that on the stayvancouverhotels website too but sometimes not. proceed with caution. i don't really have any need to go into vancouver in the next few months, especially with the restrictions in place, so i doubt that i'll take advantage of this offer for the time being.

something else to remember is that these nights seem to earn night and stay credits since they are booked through the hotel. that was my experience the last time at the sheraton wall centre and many people have confirmed that as well. again, proceed with caution as YMMV.

Some good deals especially if you plan on changing hotels a bit and can get the money out of the gc's.

Didn't have the price jump problem but some properties seem to be more expensive than their published rates.

So I just spent the BC Day long weekend in Vancouver using this promo. 2 nights at the Residence Inn Downtown, and then 2 nights at the Holiday Inn a couple blocks away. To be honest, the StayVancouverHotels site didn't inspire a lot of confidence, but the whole experience was very good, including canceling one night of my reservation by email. My effective nightly rate, ignoring taxes, was $69 at the Residence Inn and $53 at the Holiday Inn, which is just insane, especially for Vancouver in summer. Got stay credit with Marriott and IHG, too. :) I'll definitely be jumping on this again when it returns.

Thanks OP!

If used on Fairmont reservations, you can settle the room using Life Experiences certificates and/or Fairmont gift cards, both of which can be bought with a bonus during sales. Then use the pre-paid visa gift card for other kind of spending outside of the hotel. So if you have a room for $200 which you pay in full with LE certs, the 20% bonus on those certs effectively becomes a 40% bonus and leave the hotel with the $100 visa pre-paid card in hand. And during a 3x points promo like now, since you earn points on the full amount it becomes more like a 6x points promo :cool:

Thanks for the post boxo. Seems like the promo is no longer valid. I'll have to act quickly next time!

Aww, sorry to hear this. Re-reading the terms, it does not state a 'book by' date, so I have no idea when it ended. Now that you've commented on this thread, you'll be alerted the next time it comes around.

It's back! Just in time for MLK weekend! :)

Does anyone have data points about receiving loyalty benefits (Marriott or Hyatt) on these stays? Wondering if I can still count on Club Lounge access etc. Are these seen as travel agency/direct bookings or third party like Expedia/etc?

Back in 2020 when I used the promo extensively, all elite benefits were included.

Am I correct that the prepaid MasterCard will be in Canadian dollars?

These are booked directly with the hotel, so you will be eligible for loyalty benefits and points. You may need to call/email the hotel to get your loyalty # added. I've had no problem with Marriott or IHG stays posting using this promo 4 times, including last weekend at the Metropolitan (Marriott).

Can you use the Visa card in the U.S.?

Thanks for this! Appreciate it. It can be really tough to find hotel deals online. I was just reading some news articles, and it seems like some hotels there are hiding fees and charges, which can make it hard to compare prices and figure out what you're really paying for. I also saw that some popular booking sites like Expedia have been criticized for their pricing practices, like showing misleading discounts and not being upfront about fees. It's frustrating, but I think it's important to be careful and read everything carefully before booking. Regardless I appreciate you posting this. Haven’t used you guys before.
