Travel Deal of the Day (July 25, 2008)

A slow economy leads to creative marketing – here is a hotel promotion related to your year of birth.

The Deal:
Starwood is offering a promotion in the Mid-Atlantic where the second or third night of your stay is priced at the last two digits of your year of birth (so, $50/night for a person born in 1950). This promotion may or may not be a good deal, depending on how competitive the rates are using the promotion (as compared with other rates available at the hotel). Be sure to check other rates before using this promotion. However, in some expensive cities such as Washington, DC, getting a room under this promotion may be quite a deal.

How:
Go to the Starwood Promotion to read the list of participating hotels and the rules of the promotion.
