Free Night at Choice Hotels After Two Paid Stays. Good Deal?
March 2, 2016
Choice Privileges operates mostly motels in the United States, but some nicer hotels abroad like the $325-per-night Clarion Hotel in Stockholm.
Choice just launched a promotion offering a free night after two stays. This is a typical promotion among hotels that can often be worthy of a mattress run (i.e. booking two cheap one night stays you don't need to get a free stay at an expensive property later), so I looked into it.

Which Credit Card to Pay Hotel Stays at Each Chain and Non-Chain Hotel
July 8, 2015
I don't spend much time in hotels (here's a breakdown of where I'm sleeping as I travel 365 days this year), but I've been looking at booking some upcoming hotel stays. I carry several co-branded credit cards, but as I've crunched the numbers, my Citi Prestige® Card has come out as a better option for paying the hotel stay in almost all cases.
That's especially true if I'm looking at a four night hotel stay, since the Citi Prestige® Card offers the fourth night free on paid hotel stays, which is an ~25% rebate (more if you're doing it right.

How I Saved 88% on My Hotel Room in Stockholm. Easy to Replicate Techniques for Huge Hotel Discounts
August 25, 2013
Miles and points aren't all about traveling in first class for pennies, although that's the most aspirational aspect of the game, and the most fun to write about. In the last few weeks, I've used hotel points for massive savings on adequate rooms in convenient locations in expensive cities.
Through just a little bit of planning, I've spent about $255 total for my last six nights of hotels or $42 per night.
