LOYALTY TRAVELER ADVICE: A general piece of advice for any hotel loyalty program fan of promotions is to “LIKE” all the hotel program pages. A program like Best Western runs far more promotions for its Facebook fans than you will see on the Best Western websites.

There are severely limited quantities of Hyatt points in three of the four sales for various amounts of points from 24,000 to 69,000 point sets. You can buy a maximum of one set of points from each sale for a total four sets of points for a potential 159,000 Hyatt Gold passport points.

This is one of the best values of the five weeks of Daily Getaways sales. Last year these points were basically gone in seconds.  You can be pretty assured to find a large number of Hyatt Hotels where you can potentially save $20 in hotel rate for every 1,000 points you buy here for $10.

Offer #1

24,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Points (100 available, 20 presale)

• $234 with American Express payment ($9.75 per 1,000 points)
• $260 without American Express ($10.83 per 1,000 points)
• Maximum purchase quantity = 1 set of points.

Offer #2

30,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Points (35 available, No presale)

• $297 with American Express payment ($9.90 per 1,000 points)
• $330 without American Express ($11.00 per 1,000 points)
• Maximum purchase quantity = 1 set of points.

Offer #3

36,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Points (15 available, No presale)

• $373.50 with American Express payment ($9.90 per 1,000 points)
• $415 without American Express ($10.38 per 1,000 points)
• Maximum purchase quantity = 1 set of points.

Offer #4

69,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Points (15 available, No presale)

• $697.50 with American Express payment ($10.11 per 1,000 points)
• $775.00 without American Express ($11.23 per 1,000 points)
• Maximum purchase quantity = 1 set of points.

Analysis

The first offer for 24,000 points has the most available items and is the lowest price per 1,000 points. This is also the only offer with a presale opportunity. Like Facebook Hyatt and check it about an hour before the sale to get the access code for noon presale.

A good strategy is to buy the presale 24,000 points and then you can focus on buying a higher amount of points in primary sale.

Good Luck.

How to Enter Starwood Contest

• Entry period is January 24 to February 28, 2012.
• Like the Starwood Facebook page.
• Register and share what “vacation means to you” by submitting a photo, story, poem, or combination of any.
• 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.
• 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.
• Top 10 finalists will be posted from March 6 to March 20, 2012 for Final Voting Round.
• 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?
• Entry with most votes in Final Voting Round wins Grand Prize 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.)
• 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.

** Earn 2,500 bonus points per booking made between Tuesday, January 17 12:00pm (noon) Eastern Time Zone through Wednesday January 18, 11:59am ET 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.

How do I claim my 2,500 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points?

After you have booked your Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale stay, you will need to re-visit the 24-Hour Bonus Event tab 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.

Bottom Line: While I typically suggest avoiding prepaid, nonrefundable room rates, the multiple promotion offers combined with the 2012 Q-1 More Points promotion make this one sale worth considering.

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.

One two-night stay booked January 17-18 during 24-hour Facebook special can potentially earn:

• 2,500 bonus points Facebook (1 stay)
• 1,000 bonus points Any Weekend, Anywhere Sale for two night weekend stay.
• 7,000 bonus points 2012 Q-1 More Points promotion for two-night weekend stay January 1-March 31, 2012.
• Total promotion bonus = 10,500 bonus points per two-night stay.
• Up to 42,000 bonus points after four two-night stays by March 31.
• It remains to be seen whether all these promotion bonuses will combine. These offers look to me like they will combine.
• Check 2012 Q-1 More Points excluded hotels list to see if hotel is eligible.
