Bottom Line

Hilton has come out with their Q2 promotion before most of the other major hotel programs. While double points are nice, this won’t change my strategy at the moment. I’m currently partaking in Hyatt’s Possibilities promotion which ends on April 30th. Starwood’s which ends on April 30th. Even Marriott’s 40k MegaBonus runs through April 30th. Starwood’s better by the night promotion ends on April 8th, so I would expect them to announce their new promotion in the very near future.
