We are approximately at the halfway point of the Hyatt Gold Passport 44,000 point giveaway. The contest ends Midnight EST, Sunday, March 4th.

You just need to make sure the comment you leave is a real Hyatt property, and no two …

Hyatt has been very generous. They have an absolutely great promotion running (details later in this post), but they have also made points available to bloggers to give away to their readers. I am going to give away 22,000 points each to 2 lucky readers!

Hilton has announced their promotionfor 2011-Q2: from April 1 to Jun 30, 2011. Registering for the promotion basically gives you 1000 bonus points per night. It is nothing to be really excited about.
