It is time for a March hotel promotions update. This is the first time I will include the Choice Privileges in this update as well. In the future you will most likely see Accor and Best Western promotions as well. There are so many different promotions going on that there is, for sure, something for everyone.
I am working on the Two Days of Happy Starwood promotion that is about to end. Will probably have quite a few InterContinental Hotels Group and Hilton stays next. Both have very good promotions going on.
Carlson Hotels – Club Carlson
Club Carlson is offering triple points for all stays. This promotion is valid until March 16th, 2012. Note that you will receive 2000 bonus points for online bookings.
Club Carlson “Triple Points – Faster Nights” Promotion – Triple Gold Points Worldwide
Choice Hotels – Choice Privileges
Choice has a promotion starting on March 8th for 8000 points for every two stays. On some brands you need two nights for a stay.
Choice Hotels Promotion – Stay Two Separate Times & Earn One Free Night
Hilton HHonors
Hilton has the most promotions running that you can combine together. You should sign up for the two promos below. Even if you are Diamond with Hilton, you can still get 40K HH for four Hilton stays.
Register Your Visa and Get 1000 Hilton HHonors Points + 4000 Bonus for Spending $100
You can choose one of these airline promotions as your double dip earnings partner. My personal favorite still is BMI that would earn 1k per night and up to three nights regardless of the Hilton brand. Please note that all these airline related bonuses are scheduled to end on March 31st.
Triple ANA and Double Emirates Miles for Hilton Stays Until March 31st
Earn 2012 Bonus Delta SkyMiles per Two Night Hilton Stay
The British Airways promotion shows 1500 bonus Avios, but what has been posting to members is 1000. If you don’t get the correct amount, I would suggest that you write to Hilton and reference their own promotional page for this offer.
Hilton HHonors With British Airways Offering 1500 Bonus Avios Per Stay Until March 31st, 2012
These are the two main promotions for the time. More Points promotion for extra points for each nights and more for weekend stays, and free night certificates for longer resort stays.

The first promotion for double points starting from your second stay and the 5/7/15 stays for 5K/10K/15K bonus points are combinable. The first one runs until the end of April and the second until the end of March. Note that you need to choose the bonus after 5, 7, or 15 stays. If you don’t meet the threshold, you won’t get the associate bonus.
