How to Maximize Hotel Points? 60 Day Stay - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

Ahzroe · April 22, 2007, 06:20 PM

I am being relocated with work and intend to stay in a hotel for up to 60 days. I will be staying in the southern portion of Youngstown, OH, for my stay. Which hotel has the best point plans? Holiday Inn Express? Marriott? Are there credit cards I can apply for which will further point benefit? I would like your best opinion! Room rate cannot exceed $200 per night. Thanks so much for giving me some direction!!

You should probably hop over to www.flyertalk.com to the most comprehensive discussion of all the hotel programs.

Personally, I like Marriott very much. They have a credit card that charges an annual fee, but gives you a free room night each year. They give you extra points when you pay for a Marriott stay with it. I believe they just raised their incentive to join to 20,000 free points.

I like Choice Hotels (www.choicehotels.com). I have a VISA card that has no annual fee and earns points for not only hotel stays, but those points can also be converted to miles (or points) for many airlines. I use mine for Southwest and get several free flights per year. I got started with them the same way you are...I was working out-of-town for a month. My company paid for the room and I raked in the points.
