Travel Deal of the Day (Dec. 4, 2006)

I have a deal for you – and it comes from Omni Hotels. As mentioned previously, it is almost always advantageous to join a hotel’s frequent guest program. But with Omni Hotels, it can save you a ton of money and get you great perks.

The Deal:
Join Omni’s Select Guest Program to get special perks when staying at Omni Hotels including great savings, a free upgrade and free morning beverages for joining the program.

How:
1) Join the Omni Select Guest Program at: https://ssl.omnihotels.com/sg?pagedst=SG5

2) Get great perks and discounts listed at: http://www.omnihotels.com/SelectGuestProgram.aspx

The Inside Scoop:
1) So, why is this such a big deal? Well, if you have an upcoming weekend stay at an Omni hotel, once you join the Select Guest Program, you will be mailed a 50% off coupon for up to two weekend nights. This discount is a great discount. They usually take their lowest discounted rate and discount that rate another 50% - in a big city, it is a truly incredible rate. You must request the 50% off rate when making your reservation and have the certificate in hand to be eligible for the rate

2) In addition to the discount certificate, you will also get a free upgrade certificate. So, not only will you get 50% off an already low rate, you will also get an upgraded room (maybe a suite) based on availability.

3) On top of the discount and upgrade, you also receive free coffee, juice and/or tea delivered to your room by room service each morning you stay at Omni Hotels. Room service breakfast items are available at “real world’ prices when you are a Select Guest member (unlike standard room service).

Overall, it is a great free deal – if you are contemplating a stay at an Omni, I would highly recommend signing up.
