Get ‘3 for 2’ on Starwood hotels in Asia with Mastercard
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
If you are heading to the Asia Pacific region (including Australia) this Spring, Starwood is offering a ‘3 for 2’ deal on a number of properties when you pay with a MasterCard.
The website for the promotion is here.
The list of participating hotels is here.
The main exception is Japan, where no properties are participating.
You need to look carefully to see if this promotion offers good value or not. The ‘3 for 2’ is priced off the Best Flexible Rate, but these promotional deals are actually non-refundable and non-cancellable. When you compare the discount with the usual Advanced Purchase rate, the discount will be lower.
It is also not available for every date and for every room category, even at those hotels which do participate.
That said, there is certainly no harm in comparing prices offered via this link if you are heading to the region.
All stays need to be booked and completed by 31st March.
