Ends tonight: Get a free 3rd night and 30,000 bonus points with I Prefer’s Cyber Monday sale
Need a great hotel to round out the trip you've been planning during Thanksgiving sales week? It's time to turn your eyes to a smaller hotel loyalty program, I Prefer Hotel Rewards, which is offering a free third night plus tens of thousands of bonus points for Cyber Monday.
Through 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 27, Preferred Travel Group's I Prefer program (including Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Historic Hotels of America, Historic Hotels Worldwide and Beyond Green) is offering a free third night plus 30,000 bonus points for booking a stay at participating hotels for stays through March 31, 2024.
To book, head to the program's sale page or use booking code MKTCYB to get the free night and bonus points.
Curious about where you could head with that deal? Luckily, I Prefer, which revamped its program earlier this year, has incredible hotels all around the world.
Head down to San Antonio for a visit to the Alamo and an afternoon of eating and drinking around the Historic Pearl area. For your accommodations, take advantage of I Prefer's Cyber Monday sale at the Hotel Emma at Pearl, where you can save over $775 for a three-night stay. Booking through your I Prefer account (and using the code or booking through the sale site) comes out to $1,427.29.
That same rate booked directly without logging into I Prefer first comes out to $2,206.33.
If you're planning a winter trip to New York City for ice skating, Broadway shows and lots of pizza, another option is to use the deal to book a Hudson Square One Bedroom Suite at The Dominick, a luxury hotel near the heart of SoHo shopping. If you book today, you could get that stay in a one-bedroom suite for $715.27 less than booking directly with the Advance Purchase rate.
If you're not yet a member of the I Prefer Hotel Rewards program, don't fret — it's totally free to sign up, and you can still book with this promotion if you sign up and book shortly after.
With the program, members can earn and redeem points, get exclusive rates, have the potential for early or late check-in, get room upgrades (when available) and more, depending on their elite status.
Even better, award redemptions with I Prefer's 650-plus hotels start as low as 15,000 points. That means if you take advantage of the Cyber Monday sale, you can not only get your third night free for that particular trip, but those points can equal up to two nights at a different property.
Just note that according to the promotion's terms and conditions, those 30,000 bonus points won't count toward tier upgrade qualification, meaning it won't automatically bump you into Explorer status, which starts at 25,000 points. The bonus points will be added to the booker's account within two weeks following "the qualified, actualized stay."
