Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays, ways to earn extra points and deals at various properties. We collected some of this month’s best deals below.

Save up to 40% at Asia-Pacific Wyndham hotels

Wyndham Rewards is encouraging members to try out its newest hotels in the Asia-Pacific region with a flash sale. Book one of the participating hotels this fall, and you’ll receive bonus points and a discount on your paid stay.

  • Earn an extra 3,500 Wyndham Rewards points when you stay at participating hotels and resorts by Wyndham that have opened in the last 12 months across all Wyndham brands in the Asia-Pacific region. You can use this offer twice, for a maximum of 7,000 bonus points.
  • Plus, you’ll get a discount depending on how long you stay. Stay for one night and get 15% off, two nights for 22% off, three nights for 30% off and four or more nights for 40% off the best available rate (up to a maximum of five nights).
  • Book by Sept. 16 and complete your stay(s) by Dec. 4, 2024.

Earn unlimited bonus points at IHG

IHG One Rewards members can earn 3,000 bonus points for every two nights they stay this fall — with no earning cap. Since points are earned by the number of nights, not the number of stays, you could potentially rack up a lot of points with this promotion.

  • Earn 3,000 bonus points for every two nights you stay at participating IHG properties.
  • Only paid stays are eligible; stays booked with points or a combination of points and cash will not earn bonus points.
  • Register here first, then complete your stay(s) between Sept. 19 and Dec. 31, 2024.
