Hotels.com offers a coupon for 10% off a hotel booking made by November 22, 2012; valid for the first 40,000 participants.

The coupon is not valid for reservations at most major hotel chains.  Looking over the extensive list of excluded hotel brands I noticed Choice Hotels’ brands and Best Western are not listed in the excluded brands. All the other major hotel chain brands appear to be excluded.

Remember though that no hotel loyalty points are offered for bookings made through online travel agencies and the coupon also makes the stay ineligible for Hotels.com Welcome Rewards credit.

Use promotion code OctoberUS10 by November 22, 2012 for travel through April 30, 2013.

Last month I posted a promotion from TopGuest for 500 points for linking HHonors and Facebook accounts at TopGuest. The offer T&C stated limited to first 40,000 HHonors members to participate.

And it looks like the registration page is still live if you want to get 500 HHonors points for free.

Another easy 500 Hilton HHonors points available with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand if you do not mind socially connecting your HHonors and Facebook accounts through TopGuest.com.

This offer is limited to the first 40,000 members to participate.

My 500 points posted yesterday.
