		<description>I wrote about the $198 airline voucher in the October 7 Loyalty Traveler post: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/loyaltytraveler/2008/10/07/one-stay-at-holiday-inn-or-hi-express-earns-198-usa-48-airfare/

I used 5,000 points for each of my two hotel stays at Holiday Inn Express in Ashland, Oregon and Yreka, CA.  I purchased 10,000 points from Priority Club on Saturday and booked the Ashland, Portland room on the following Tuesday morning, Nov 4, election day for that evening.

Unfortunately, hotel rooms redeemed for points do not count towards promotion activity.

I did save  quite a bit on the rates by getting two hotel nights on points for a total cost of $125.  I did not even pay tax to buy points or at hotel checkout.

The hotel rates after tax would have been over $130 for each hotel.  $125 was a nice discount for $260 in hotel rooms and made these Holiday Inn Express stays quite a bargain.

I enjoyed Oregon a little, but the rains were quite heavy for three of the four days I was in the state and kept me holed up working in my hotel rooms most of the time there.</description>

		<description>You should avoid taking a long and short position in the number which generally move in Oregon. For me, my vote is very challenging. When combined with my vote is quite powerful.</description>
