Mint on Your Pillow, Gas in Your Car

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

You're not the only one feeling the pain of gas prices. The lesser-known victims of the price hike are hotels, who are seeing fewer guests with every cent increase at the pump. Many hotels are offering gas promotions to entice travelers to stay their way so I've rounded up some ways to make your next hotel visit easier on you and your wallet.

  • Kimpton Hotels has parking and other discounts for anyone who shows up in a hybrid car. Some hotels even give hybrid drivers a $20 gas card and complimentary parking.
  • Through next May, select Hilton Hotel properties are offering $20 gas cards with each night stay.
  • Select Marriott hotels are also offering gas cards with any stay — some even throw in a free in-room movie.
  • With Loews' Money for Miles program, guests at hotels such as the Coronado Bay Resort get a list of the least expensive gas stations in the area, as well as $50 off their hotel bill after submitting gas receipts from their stay.
  • At BedandBreakfast.com, some B&Bs are participating in the Tanks a Lot free gas promotion, which offers discounts and gas cards.
  • Word has it that Choice Hotels and Hotels.com will both be offering gas cards this summer.
  • Fying not driving? Spirit Airlines is offering $24 off all flights if you book before 11:59 am today! Enter the promotion code 24HOURS.
