Have you noticed how many great deals are around like the free night deals that are on offer from leading hotels around the world. I wonder how long it will take till we see a “come and stay free“, just spend over $150 in the restaurant!
So what are these offers and are they of value and what do I get for my money. The typical offers you will see be “Stay 2 nights get your third night free”, “Stay 1 Night get the Second Night Free” and “Stay 2 nights get a free night”. There are typically two types of promotions one that provides the free night for your current stay, and one that will provided you credit for another stay in the future.
Current free night accommodation promotions
- Radisson Hotels and Resorts – Friday is Freeday
- Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental – Stay Two nights then get 1 Free
- Accor Hotel – Stay for 3 and Return for Free
So is the Free Night Promotion of value and do you really get a free night? Well yes you do get free night but there maybe some devil in the detail on some of these promotions.
If you were to book the Radisson Friday is Freeday, we would suggest you look at comparing with other rates that might be on offer. As often the free night offer may well be sitting on a higher rate to compensate for the free night that they are giving away. So if you are booking well ahead in time you may get a better deal for two nights on another rate.
The Accor Hotel Free night special is an interesting one the free night that is being provided is being supplied under the Advantage Plus Program, which is good program if you know how it works. Don’t expect that you will be staying in Sofitel Sydney on Saturday night with your free night, without some careful planning.
With the IHG Stay and two nights get a free night, you need to join up to the Priority Club rewards program and register for the promotion before staying. The Free night that you receive is redeemed through the Priority Club Rewards program, one good thing about this program is that they have very limited black out periods, which does make it easier for you to use your free night and points earned through the program.
Best Pick of the Free Night Promotions
- We would say the best pick would go to the IHG with the Stay any 2 Nights Get 1 Free the discount value would be close to 50% off your accommodation, and you get a wide variety of choice to where you stay around the world and where you use your free night at over 4000 hotels spread around the world.
- Secondly would say the Friday is Freeday, as effectively this would be 100 % discount on offer, plus you get your free night for the period you are staying you don’t have to wait till later in the year to use the free night. Just be sure to compare other rates for your stay to be sure you can’t get a cheaper hotel rate averaged over 2 nights.
Keep your eye out for other great free night deals which will continue to spill out to travellers over the next 6 months. I just can’t wait to see the actual free accommodation ones for spending in house!
We are staying the 30th of July in Launceston at the mercure hotel . We are then staying at the Grand Mercure hotel in Hobart for the 31st and the 1st . This will be three nights how do we go about getting the fourth night free that you are advertising . As we may decide to stay another night in Hobart . We were in Wellington New Zealand last December and stayed two nights at the Mercure Hotel there it was a very pleasant stay am hoping that your hotels in Tasmania will be just as good. The restaurant in Wellington was very good does the restaurant in Launceston stay open on a Thrusday night and do they have 24hour room service.
