Do you live an InterContinental life?

InterContinental Hotels has a weekend Sunday night free offer for select hotels.  Click the link to see participating hotels.  This offer is for Friday only check-in for a 3-night stay (Check-out Monday) through April 30, 2009.  The reservation must be prepaid for two nights at time of booking.

My surprise was finding the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, San Francisco with a 3-night weekend rate lower than the rate for just two nights.  The February weekend I checked had $199 rates for a Friday-Saturday 2-night stay, however, the 3-night special rate totaled only $378 for Friday check-in and Monday check-out.

Now that is a deal when 3 nights cost less than 2 nights.  Unfortunately, I did not find this anomaly in any other InterContinental Hotels when checking rates using the 3 nights for the price of two special offer link.

This offer can also be used to buy up to a suite for 3 nights at a 33% discount at a participating InterContinental Hotel.

Scottsdale More Your Style?  20,000 Points for a 3-night stay

Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale is resort hotel nirvana in the desert. Think JW Marriott and The Phoenician of the Starwood Luxury Collection.  InterContinental Hotels Group has the InterContinental Montelucia, recently remodeled, and at a price much lower than the Marriott or Phoenician.

InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa between December 1, 2008 and June 14, 2009 is offering a 10,000 points bonus for a 2-night stay or 20,000 points for a 3-night stay.
