http://www.starwoodhotels.com/gas
With no relief in sight at the pump, Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is fueling travel with a special offer that makes three of its most popular brands an even hotter value this summer.
Starting today, two-night stays at Starwood’s Specialty Select brands, including Aloft, Element, and Four Points by Sheraton hotels in the USA and Canada, will earn a $40 gas card redeemable at thousands of filling stations nationwide.
Here’s how it works: At more than 150 Aloft, Element, and Four Points hotels, guests who book through starwoodhotels.com/gas by July 31 will receive a gas card by mail from one of 11 participating retailers.. After completing a two-night stay, guests will receive a PIN code by e-mail to activate their gas card. To qualify, guests must complete a stay of two consecutive nights by September 15, 2011.
“Our Specialty Select hotels are all about making guests feel appreciated, and this promotion is one more way to make summer travel a little easier for them, and that much more fun,” said Brian McGuinness, senior vice president of Starwood’s Specialty Select brands. “Aloft, Element, and Four Points have become traveler favorites by combining great guest experiences with exceptional value, and the gas card promotion reflects that dedication.”
According to GasBuddy.com, which tracks gasoline prices nationwide, the cost for a gallon of gas has climbed to more than $4.15 in some parts of the country. Gasoline prices on average have edged up at least 75 cents over last year, according to the Lundberg Survey, which tabulates prices at thousands of gas stations nationwide.
