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 20,000 email subscribers – means we run this monthly article as a handy summary.

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.

Offers with hotel groups:

• Get £100 back on a £250 spend with selected World of Hyatt hotels (expires 6th January, book here)

• Get £100 back on a £400 spend with Mondrian hotels (expires 13th February, book via our partner for extra benefits)

• Get 10% cashback at Apex Hotels (expires 1st February, book here)

Offers with specific London hotels:

• None at present

Where should you credit your stays for January 2025?

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.

Here are your options:

Hilton (Hampton, Conrad, Waldorf-Astoria etc)

Hilton has a promotion called ‘Double Your Stay’.

You can register here.  Our full article is here. It runs until 30th April.

You will earn base points on all stays, cash or reward, during the promotional period.

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 (InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Hotel Indigo etc)

IHG One Rewards is running a similar ‘double points’ promotion to Hilton but it is more restrictive.

You will earn double base points on every cash stay. You will not receive double points on incidental spend on reward stays.

Double points only kicks in on your SECOND cash stay after registration. Your first cash stay will only earn standard points.

You can register here. Our full article is here. It runs until 31st March.

The IHG 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.
