There’s not much to say other than register especially if you’re already staying at a Marriott hotel between July 1st and August 31st, 2008.  You’ll earn 10,000 Marriott Rewards points for every third paid stay you make at Marriott.

Term and Conditions:

  • Marriott Rewards members who register for this promotion will earn 10,000 bonus points every third paid stay, when their first paid stay and subsequent paid stays are made between July 1 and August 31, 2008, at a participating Marriott property – up to a maximum 30,000 points.
  • Registration is required.
  • Registration ends June 30, 2008.
  • This offer is not transferable.
  • Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for credit.
  • A stay is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity.
  • Only one room per hotel is counted towards a member’s nights or stay.
  • Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion.
  • All Marriott Rewards program terms and conditions apply.
  • Visit MarriottRewards.com, call 1-888-MARRIOTT, or call your local Marriott Rewards Guest Services office for complete details.

I don’t know why Marriott and other hotels do not automatically sign up frequent travelers for these promotions.  Just imagine what a nice surprise it would be to see bonus points on your point statements without having to go through the tedious process of registering every quarter for the special promotion.  Perhaps they are testing to see if you still care.


Hertz: Free Gas!

You can use it on a vacation or save your client some money.  It’s a win-win.  With gas prices continuing to rise, I can definitely see the car rental business losing some money as people start jumping on the "staycation" bandwagon.

Promotion Details Here:

The beginning of the summer travel season is the perfect time to enjoy a Free Tank of Gas from Hertz. Just rent any Economy through Full-Size vehicle for a minimum of three days and get a free tank of gas for use with your rental. Hurry, this offer is valid on vehicle pickups through June 30, 2008, with PC# 113120.

Stay green.


United: Earn Double Elite Qualifying Miles

Posted by the*point*man Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:28:00 GMT

Check with your current airlines - my bet is they are offering a similar program to their frequent flyers.  "Qualifying" means these miles help you earn status which may not amount to much these days but it does mean you’ll be one of the first to board over the recreational travelers and possibly beat them out of a seat when going standby.

Click here to register.

Offer Details:

Registration is required by June 15, 2008. Only travel completed on or after date of registration is eligible for this offer.

Travel period: April 21, 2008 through June 15, 2008

Earn double Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) on United, United Express and Ted flights (two times the actual base flight miles)

This offer does not apply to class of service bonus miles or EQM, elite bonus miles, redeemable bonus miles, promotional EQM or Elite Qualifying Segments

Elite Qualifying Miles are not redeemable for flights but do count toward Premier®, Premier Executive® and 1K® status

Baby steps.  That’s the best we can hope for.
