Marriott and Hertz have extended their buy two nights, get one night free promotion through the end of the year – including the Thanksgiving and December holidays.
The Deal:
Stay Two Nights, Get the Third Night Free at Participating Marriott Hotels and Resorts.
When:
Now through December 30, 2007 for a weekend stay of at least three nights (offer valid Thursday through Monday, with a minimum of three consecutive nights that include a Saturday night).
How:
1) Go to the Marriott/Hertz Deal.
2) Find an available hotel and click "Show Rates & Rooms" to find all available rooms.
3) When booking, ensure that the “rate rules” (which should be displayed before confirming the reservation) state that the Hertz promotion applies for the dates you requested. Print those rate rules to ensure you receive the appropriate discount at check-out.
4) According to the rules, the hotel will charge you for all three nights, then subtract the final night off of your bill at check-out.
The Inside Scoop:
1) The terms of the offer require you to rent a car with Hertz to be eligible for the deal, but the Hertz rental does not have to be at the same time as your hotel stay.
2) If you are staying more than just a weekend, try checking rates for three weekend nights using this promotion and then checking rates using some other discount for the other nights of your stay.

Travel Deal of the Day (July 10, 2007)
If you are staying at a hotel on a Thursday and Friday night or a Sunday and Monday night, it is often advisable to verify how the rates on those nights change if you include a Saturday night. Though you might not have originally intended to include a Saturday night, sometimes this extra night can decrease the price of your total stay.
The Deal:
Quite often, you can lower the price of your Thursday and Friday night hotel stay or your Sunday and Monday night hotel stay by including a Saturday night. Most hotels offer midweek rates targeted at business travelers that are much higher than weekend rates targeted at leisure travelers. (Hotels in business sections of big cities or near airports often cannot fill their rooms on weekends, so they offer huge discounts to entice you to stay the weekend.) When you check-in on a Thursday and depart on a Saturday or you check-in on a Sunday and depart on Tuesday, you often qualify for midweek rates rather than weekend rates. Quite often, the total bill for a three night total stay that includes a Saturday night will be lower than a two-night stay without a Saturday night stay (since the stay including the Saturday night may qualify for weekend rates for all three nights or some other weekend promotion/discount).
How:
When checking rates, always see how your rates change if you include a Saturday night. Also, check packages which may include free breakfast or other perks for including the weekend in your stay.
