Current hotel promotions: Earn cash-back rewards and bonus points at major brands
Editor's Note
In 2020 and 2021, many major hotel companies offered some of their most generous promotions. That's how some TPG staffers achieved top-tier Hyatt Globalist status with just 10 nights. But those days are far behind us.
Though hotel promotions aren't quite as generous as they once were, they certainly should be on your radar. These promotions help you accrue additional points to earn elite status faster.
However, keeping track of the latest hotel bonuses can be difficult — especially if you're juggling points and elite status with multiple programs. With that in mind, we've created this guide to track current promotions across the major hotel chains.
Most of these promotions require you to book directly with the hotel chain. Bookmark this page for regularly updated offers, links and other information about your favorite hotel programs. We'll also discuss which offers will get you the most bang for your buck.
This article focuses on limited-time promotions, excluding ongoing offers like AAA and AARP member discounts. Further, the list doesn't include ongoing offers on cobranded hotel credit cards, but you can check out the following links for details on these cards:
- The best Marriott credit cards
- Hilton Honors credit card bonuses
- World of Hyatt Credit Card
- IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card
