Rack up points with these 7 hotel loyalty program offers


Hotels often offer guests great rewards for doing little more than signing up. Of course, you have to know where to look to get rewarded. Thankfully, you're in the right place. Every month we share our favorite promotions. Here are seven of the best current offers available:

Earn 20,000 points and elite status. Club Carlson will throw 20,000 points your way if you manage to stay at least seven nights with the hotel chain's properties between now and March 31. That could be seven separate one night stays, one week-long stay, or any combination of nights. Only complete three nights? You'll still qualify for Silver Elite status and 10,000 points (free award stays start at 9,000). Be sure to register before checking into the hotel.

Sleep free for the third night. Stay three nights at a participating Club Carlson property in Europe, the Middle East or Africa by March 31, and the hotel chain will comp the last night. Reservations must be made on Club Carlson's website or the hotel brand site directly and include promotional code WBUY2F2. Make sure to register.

Score 5,000 points. If you stay at two separate Club Carlson brands by March 31, you'll receive 5,000 bonus points. Be sure to sign up for all three of the relevant offers to rack up points quickly.

Get 15,000 points. This targeted offer from Hilton is quite lucrative if you're eligible (check and register here). Staying two nights at a Hilton property will earn you 15,000 bonus HHonors points. You must register before you're stay, but wait to register until at most 90 days before you stay. Registration is open through January 12, 2017, but is only valid for 90 days.

Win big with Marriott. Marriott's seasonal Mega Bonus promotion is now live. Just log in to your Marriott Rewards account at marriott.com and register for your targeted promotion. Offers vary, but you can get anything from a free stay after two nights at a Marriott family hotel to bonus points for staying a set number of nights.

Get rewarded for saving money. Wyndham is offering guests up to 2,000 bonus points for each reservation that is booked at the "best available rate" — as if you needed extra incentive to save money.

Grab $25 from Best Western. Staying at a Best Western property twice between now and May 8 will qualify you for a free $25 gift card with the hotel chain. Guests are eligible to earn up to $125 in gift cards (from 10 separate stays). Registration is required before checking in.
