Hilton offers you need to bookmark

In spite of what I'd expected when I wrote about being at a crossroads, I've been downgraded to Hilton HHonors Silver this year. Which means I need to be keen as mustard when it comes to keeping track of good hotel offers, particularly from Hilton which is a chain I generally like (along with Marriott). So when I found these offers/promotions, I just had to let you folks know about them!


New promo - free breakfast plus £50/€50/$50 credit per day

Hilton has launched a new "Leisure Escape" package which applies at over 80 participating hotels in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. This promotion offers free breakfast, plus a credit of £50/€50/$50 per day of stay. Even if you're Hilton Gold or Diamond (which automatically entitles you to free breakfast), this might be worth your while. This applies to all weekend stays in 2015, and is cancellable up to 1 day before arrival.


You need to book directly with Hilton and apply the promo code RPTVS1, or you can check out the various properties and the stay credits here (these are not affiliate links!). Some properties that don't offer the daily credit, instead offer bonus airline miles (typically, DoubleTree hotels). 

30% off on Asia resorts

Hilton is also offering a 30% discount on the bed-and-breakfast rate on resorts in Asia (that's Thailand, Maldives, Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia). These are valid for the whole of 2015, but need to be booked by 23 March 2015. 


A non-refundable amount of 30% of the booking value is payable up front, and a 30-day advance booking is generally required (except where specific properties waive this requirement). Still, if your plans are rather firm, this could be a great offer.

Hilton Hotel Deals

And of course, you should always bookmark Hilton Hotel Deals. This site, run by Hiltons themselves, has the latest on all the best deals, and generally has offers for a 20% discount for weekend stays in India, Sri Lanka and Maldives (and different %s in other regions).

What do you think of these offers? Are you likely to use any of them?

Free Marriott Silver status...

Image
I think in today's times, it helps to be an Accenture employee. I'm only talking from a miles and points perspective, of course!!! A few days back, I had written about complimentary Hilton HHonors Silver status (with upgrade to Gold in 4 stays) , which was intended for Accenture employees - not that employment was ever verified by Hilton. Now (and I'm not sure if it is just a case of following suit in the spirit of competition), Marriott is also offering complimentary Silver status for Accenture employees. Normally, Silver requires 10 qualifying stays. Here's the link to the sign up page . So, what does Silver with Marriott get you? You can see the benefits for Silver here , and the entire set of benefits for the Marriott Rewards program here , but to summarize the key ones: 20% bonus points free internet access at participating properties in Asia-Pacific late checkout (YMMV) weekend discount of 10% at specific brands / properties access to elite-only rewards some level

50% off at Marriott in Thailand, for one night

Image
Marriott is offering a 50% off for a single night, till 31 July 2014, in exchange for registering for / subscribing to their eNewsletter. I'm not sure what the connection is, but I think the fact that it is for a single night's stay may well be suggestive of promoting Thai tourism, if you know my meaning... But well...its there to be had. I know this isn't exactly an India-focussed deal, but I'm looking at another trip to BKK soon, and I think there could be others who might benefit from this. The 50% off is on the highest available rate. Bookings cannot be done online. Instead, it will have to be done by emailing bookmarriott@marriotthotels.com or by calling the hotel and quoting your cluster code (which is D58) and the voucher number (see steps below for getting the voucher). Do remember to carry a print of the voucher and present it upon check in. Participating hotels are: BANGKOK Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit Marriott Exe
