Marriott 3-for-2 Offer in the Middle East and Africa

This is a very old offer that started in the SPG times long before the merger, and Marriott has been extending the offer since.

You can access the offer page here. It’s a partner offer with Mastercard, so in theory when you make the booking it has to be on a Mastercard.

There are three forms of rate type: 3-for-2 (Stay three nights and pay for 2), 4-for-3 and 6-for-4, which are equivalent to 33% off, 25% off and 33% off respectively.

To book, simply enter your stay details on the offer page, or search on Marriott’s homepage with promo code BOG. In the example below, the BOG rate is indeed the cheapest one across the board:

Note that however, this rate is non-changeable and non-refundable, which makes it very unattractive in the current climate. Still it’s worth knowing of though in case it becomes useful for your future trips.

IHG Ambassador free night enrolment offer extended, Creation 5,000 bonus points

We wrote about the very impressive Ambassador enrolment offer back in July, and this offer has just been extended.

As you can see in the programme’s terms and conditions, the offer’s deadline is now 31 December, as opposed to the original date of 15 November.

This is great news to some – if you are an existing Ambassador member, it’s only possible to renew within two months of the expiry date. It means, if your membership is set to expire in February 2021, you will be able to benefit from this offer now. Unfortunately mine ends September next year so they need to extend much further!

As I’ve mentioned in the intro, IHG Ambassador is great programme and it’s sensible to join even if you are staying at an InterContinental hotel just once. With this free night offer on top, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase or renew my membership.

On a separate note but still IHG related – many UK Creation IHG card holders have received an email today – between 1 November and 15 December, you’ll be awarded 5,000 bonus points on your first stay at any IHG hotel globally. You need to pay with your Creation IHG credit card (whether Premium or not).

It’s a decent bonus points offer, and doesn’t appear to be targeted.

Radisson Hotels 3-for-2 sale in Asia Pacific

Radisson Hotels has launched a pretty good 3-for-2 sale in Asia Pacific. I know most people can’t really travel there at the moment, but this promotion has a long lifespan so you may still find it useful.
