Welcome to our regular round-up of the best hotel promotions currently running.

All of the information in this article can also be found on our ‘Hotel Offers’ page which contains details of all of the current offers, together with links to our major articles on each hotel scheme.  However, a positive response from readers – especially our 19,000 email subscribers – means we run this monthly article as a handy summary.

We’ve seen a bounce back in the number of offers from the winter low BUT ‘big brand’ American Express cashback deals are still noticeably absent.

Are these now over? American Express was heavily subsidising them, and as they have all stopped (Hilton, Marriott, IHG and Hyatt ran them multiple times) it is possible that Amex has turned off the tap. The only offers we have are from second tier chains.

Here are quick summaries and links to the registration pages you need for each offer – do it before you forget. (I apologise to email readers if this block is mangled – scroll down to the main text area.)

Current offers for buying hotel points

Here are the ‘buy points’ offers running at the moment:

Current American Express cashback offers

It’s worth noting the current American Express cashback offers with the big chains. These may be showing on one or more of your cards and may influence which hotels you book this month:

• Get £100 back on a £500 spend with selected Mandarin Oriental hotels (expires 27th May)

• Get 7% cashback at Radisson Blu Edwardian hotels (10 hotels – nine in London / Heathrow and one in Manchester, expires 10th April)

• Get £100 back on a £500 spend at The Londoner hotel in Leicester Square (expires 10th April)

• Get £100 back on a £400 spend at The May Fair Hotel (expires 10th April, part of Radisson Rewards, website here)

• Get £30 back when you spend £175 at Macdonald Hotels (expires 26th April, book here)

• Get £100 back when you spend £500 at Corinthia London (expires 31st May, book here – this is a fantastic property if you are looking to splurge)

• Get £100 back when you spend £300 with Maybourne Hotel Group (The Connaught, The Berkeley, Claridge’s) (expires 31st May)

• Get £100 back when you spend £500 with Preferred Hotels (expires 30th June)

• Get £75 back when you spend £400 at The Standard London (expires 3rd June)

• Get £20 back when you spend £100 at Expedia on pre-paid hotels (expires 24th June – see here for details but you must be targetted and opt-in via your Amex online account)

Where should you credit your stays for April 2024?

Remember that, irrespective of the offers below, there is never a single ‘best’ offer.

Some offers require multiple stays to maximise the bonus, which you might not do. Some require stays to be a minimum number of nights before a bonus is earned.

You need to factor in any elite status you have, which will earn you additional status bonuses.

More importantly, you need to be able to use the points. There is no value in earning a large bonus in a scheme where you will never go on to earn enough points to get a free night.

Hilton (Hampton, Conrad, Waldorf-Astoria etc)

Hilton has a promotion called ‘Points Plus’.

You can register here.  Our full article is here. It runs until 1st May.

You will earn 2,000 bonus points on all stays, plus an additional 500 boints if you select a Digital Key in the Hilton app.

You need to register in advance of your first stay during the period via the Hilton website here.  Existing bookings count and all Hilton Honors hotels are taking part.

The Hilton booking page is here.

IHG One Rewards is offering 2,000 bonus points for every two nights you stay.

The promotion runs from 1st April to 31st May. Only cash nights count, not reward stays. Existing bookings are OK.

You can register here. Our full article on the promotion is here.

Whilst not hugely rewarding (we value 2,000 points at £8) some members were emailed with an additional bonus offer which stacks on top of this one.

You can book your IHG stays here.

Marriott Bonvoy (Renaissance, The Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, Westin, W, Aloft, St Regis, Luxury Collection, Moxy etc)

Until 29th April, you will earn 1,000 bonus points per NIGHT and double elite night credits on every cash stay at a Marriott hotel.

I value a Bonvoy point at 0.5p so this is equivalent to a £5 bonus per night.  It is clearly a better deal on cheap one-night stays than expensive week-long holidays.

For many readers, the double elite night credits will be more important, allowing you to get a head start on status requalification for next year.

Our full article is here. You can register here. Note that registration closes early on 15th April.

The home page for bookings is here.

World of Hyatt launched its latest promotion on 1st March, which will run until 30th April.

You will receive 3,000 bonus World of Hyatt points for every three nights you stay. Nights do not need to be consecutive. Reward nights count.

You can register here. Registration closes early on 15th April.

Our full article is here. The Hyatt booking page is here.

And finally …..

If you booking a luxury hotel, remember that we can offer you exclusive additional benefits at Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Peninsula and similar hotels.  

Click here for details of our luxury hotel booking service in association with Bon Vivant / Virtuoso.  Feedback from readers who have used this service so far has been excellent and we have booked over £1.7 million of rooms so far.
