			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starwood Hotels has a new <a href="http://www.starwoodpromos.com/starpicks/#area-2" target="_blank">Facebook contest</a> to win a 5-night stay at any North American hotel up to category 6. Contest is open to residents of 50 US states, DC and Canada excluding Quebec who are 18 years or older.</p>
<p><strong>How to Enter Starwood Contest</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Entry period is January 24 to February 28, 2012.</li>
<li>Like the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/starwoodhotelstravelexclusives" target="_blank">Starwood Facebook page</a>.</li>
<li>Register and share what “vacation means to you” by submitting a photo, story, poem, or combination of any.</li>
<li>Round 1 Voting Period allows voters to register and vote once per day for favorite entry. After February 28 a group of panelists will choose the top 10 entries. Voting results only count for 25% of the criteria used in judging finalists.</li>
<li>The good news for voters is you get a sweepstakes entry for one prize of two free weekend nights at any North American hotel up to category 5 properties for a maximum 32,000 points prize.</li>
<li>Top 10 finalists will be posted from March 6 to March 20, 2012 for Final Voting Round.</li>
<li>The odd rule is it looks like voters can vote once for each of the ten finalists, but no more than one vote for any finalist?</li>
<li>Entry with most votes in Final Voting Round wins <strong>Grand Prize</strong> of 100,000 Starpoints for two round-trip flights, $1,000 in spending money and up to 125,000 Starpoints for a 5-night hotel stay at any hotel in North America up to SPG category 6 hotel. (SPG category-6 hotel in peak season is 25,000 points per night. Fewer points are won if hotel costs less. Considering SPG has 5th night free I would think the maximum win is 100,000 points.)</li>
<li>Next two highest vote entrants win First Prize. One random voting member also wins a Voting Sweepstakes First Prize. First Prize is two free weekend nights (Fri-Sat) at up to category 5 hotel in North America for a maximum prize of 32,000 points.</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-12614"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.starwoodpromos.com/starpicks/rules.html" target="_blank">Complete rules for this Starwood Contest are here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/starwoodhotelstravelexclusives?sk=app_329959650358447&amp;IM=LP_NADVACATION_ENTERCONTEST_FBOOK_SWHTE" target="_blank">Facebook Contest link</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.starwoodpromos.com/starpicks/#area-2" target="_blank">Starwood Hotels Contest Page</a>. This page lets you look at the contest if you are not a facebook member. To enter the contest you need to be a Facebook member.</p>
<p><a href="http://boardingarea.com/blogs/loyaltytraveler/files/2012/01/Starwood-Contest-Vacation-Means.jpg"><img style="padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;padding-top: 0px;border: 0px" src="http://boardingarea.com/blogs/loyaltytraveler/files/2012/01/Starwood-Contest-Vacation-Means_thumb.jpg" alt="Starwood Contest Vacation Means" width="548" height="449" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>The unique aspect of this Starwood Facebook Contest is you receive a sweepstakes entry for two free nights in North America just by registering and voting for any contest entry. You do not have to submit your own entry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a reminder about the Hilton Any Weekend Anywhere global sale for 20 to 33% discount on prepaid rooms for weekend stays through December 30, 2012. Bookings made from noon today Eastern time zone (New York), January 17 through noon tomorrow, Wednesday January 18 will earn 2,500 bonus HHonors points per reservation, up to 10,000 bonus points when you register your reservation confirmation through Hilton&#8217;s Facebook page.</p>
<p><strong>Hilton <a title="https://www.facebook.com/HiltonHHonors?sk=app_120202081398377" href="https://www.facebook.com/HiltonHHonors?sk=app_120202081398377" target="_blank">Facebook promotion special</a> for up to 10,000 bonus points:</strong></p>
<p><strong>** Earn 2,500 bonus points</strong> per booking made between <strong>Tuesday, January 17 12:00pm (noon) Eastern Time Zone through Wednesday January 18, 11:59am ET </strong>for the Hilton Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale. This bonus may be earned four times, up to 10,000 bonus points with four bookings. The 2,500 bonus points Facebook offer is valid for one night stays.</p>
<p><strong><a title="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150451350160825" href="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150451350160825" target="_blank">How do I claim my 2,500 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points</a>?</strong></p>
<p>After you have booked your Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale stay, you will need to re-visit the <a title="https://www.facebook.com/HiltonHHonors?sk=app_120202081398377" href="https://www.facebook.com/HiltonHHonors?sk=app_120202081398377" target="_blank">24-Hour Bonus Event tab</a> on the Hilton HHonors Facebook page during the Bonus Event period (12:00pm ET on January 17, 2012 to 11:59am ET on January 18, 2012) and enter in your confirmation number and your Hilton HHonors number in order to claim the 2,500 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points. The Hilton HHonors Bonus Points will be posted in your Hilton HHonors account 4 to 6 weeks after your stay has been completed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://boardingarea.com/blogs/loyaltytraveler/files/2012/01/HHonors-Facebook-10K-bonus1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12513" src="http://boardingarea.com/blogs/loyaltytraveler/files/2012/01/HHonors-Facebook-10K-bonus1-e1326814352427.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="440" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Bottom Line:</strong> While I typically suggest avoiding prepaid, nonrefundable room rates, the multiple promotion offers combined with the <a title="https://www.hiltonhhonors.com/pyo/q12012/MoreNights2012_landing.aspx?lang=EN" href="https://www.hiltonhhonors.com/pyo/q12012/MoreNights2012_landing.aspx?lang=EN" target="_blank">2012 Q-1 More Points promotion</a> make this one sale worth considering.</p>
<p>Four $100 one-night stays can potentially earn 10,000 bonus points through the Facebook offer and 4,000 bonus points from the 2012 Q-1 More Points promotion if these one-night stays are completed by March 31. Four nights can earn 14,000 bonus points in addition to the regular points for hotel spend.</p>
<p>One two-night stay booked January 17-18 during 24-hour Facebook special can potentially earn:</p>
<ul>
<li>2,500 bonus points Facebook (1 stay)</li>
<li>1,000 bonus points Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale for two night weekend stay.</li>
<li>7,000 bonus points 2012 Q-1 More Points promotion for two-night weekend stay January 1-March 31, 2012.</li>
<li>Total promotion bonus = 10,500 bonus points per two-night stay.</li>
<li>Up to 42,000 bonus points after four two-night stays by March 31.</li>
<li>It remains to be seen whether all these promotion bonuses will combine. These offers look to me like they will combine.</li>
<li>Check 2012 Q-1 More Points <a title="http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/landing/excluded_hotels_q1/index.do" href="http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/landing/excluded_hotels_q1/index.do" target="_blank">excluded hotels</a> list to see if hotel is eligible.</li>

<p>One two-night stay booked January 17-18 during 24-hour Facebook special can potentially earn:</p>
<ul>
<li>2,500 bonus points Facebook (1 stay)</li>
<li>1,000 bonus points Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale for two night weekend stay.</li>
<li>7,000 bonus points 2012 Q-1 More Points promotion for two-night weekend stay January 1-March 31, 2012.</li>
<li>Total promotion bonus = 10,500 bonus points per two-night stay.</li>
<li>Up to 42,000 bonus points after four two-night stays by March 31.</li>
<li>It remains to be seen whether all these promotion bonuses will combine. These offers look to me like they will combine.</li>
<li>Check 2012 Q-1 More Points <a title="http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/landing/excluded_hotels_q1/index.do" href="http://hhonors1.hilton.com/en_US/hh/landing/excluded_hotels_q1/index.do" target="_blank">excluded hotels</a> list to see if hotel is eligible.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A|Club loyalty program for French chain Accor Hotels has a couple of ongoing offers for free elite status and free points for Facebook Jackpot contest.</p>
<p>A|Club complimentary Gold elite could be yours with promotion code AMEXSING10 when you <a title="https://secure.a-club.com/en/select-program.action" href="https://secure.a-club.com/en/select-program.action" target="_blank">register as a new member of the A|Club program</a>. Funny thing is this offer is the first time I recall a non-IHG promotion listed on <a title="http://www.priorityclubinsider.com/2011/09/gold-at-aclub/" href="http://www.priorityclubinsider.com/2011/09/gold-at-aclub/" target="_blank">PriorityClubInsider.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>A|Club Jackpot Facebook game for free 500 points and chance to win 25,000 or 1,000,000 points</strong></p>
<p><strong>Promotion: October 6 &#8211; November 15, 2011</strong></p>
<p>You can pick up some instant points after enrolling for Accor A|Club Gold elite through the <a title="http://www.facebook.com/AClubofficial?sk=app_258798234153615" href="http://www.facebook.com/AClubofficial?sk=app_258798234153615" target="_blank">Accor A|Club Jackpot Days sweepstakes on Faceboo</a>k.</p>
<p>The first 25,000 players automatically win 500 points. At time of this post there are 18,195 Facebook page &#8220;likes&#8221; so I assume at least another 7,000 people can win an instant 500 points.</p>
<p>You can play the game once each week, based on the time and day you first play, through November 15, 2011. There are ten 25,000 point prizes at pre-set time slots during the game period and the first person to play after the 25K time slot wins the prize.</p>
<p><strong>One million A|Club points</strong> <strong>worth 20,000 Euros</strong> in hotel stay credit will be awarded to one entrant from the game within three weeks after the game ends.</p>

<li>The stay for the Week 1 contest must be completed by March 31, 2012.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to Enter:</strong></p>
<p>1. &#8220;Like&#8221; the <a title="http://www.facebook.com/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?v=wall" href="http://www.facebook.com/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?v=wall" target="_blank">I Prefer Facebook page</a>.</p>
<p>2. Register for the <a title="http://www.facebook.com/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?v=wall#!/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?sk=app_166459520100039" href="http://www.facebook.com/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?v=wall#!/IPrefer.PreferredHotelGroup?sk=app_166459520100039" target="_blank">Postcards from the Pacific Northwest Contest</a>. Answer the weekly Pacific Northwest themed question with a 140 character “postcard” and you could win a two-night stay for two at one of the two weekly featured hotels.</p>
<p>3. The rules state the winner each week will be selected randomly meaning this technically is a sweepstakes since you do not need to win a postcard writing contest to win the free hotel stay. The Facebook page shows the 140 character postcard entries and allows fans to vote, but the rules indicate the winner is chosen randomly from the entries.</p>
<p>4. Inviting your Facebook friends to enter the sweepstakes gives one additional entry for each friend who registers for the I Prefer free stay giveaway.</p>
<p>5. Week One Prize Value = about $750.</p>
