We all love freebies. After all, that’s why we stuff our purses with customer loyalty cards from our fave coffee shops and supermarkets and whip them out at every chance we get. Well, there is another one to add to the bunch, in the virtual sense, that gives us a sweet hotel deal (i.e. a free hotel stay) from Hotels.com called Welcome Rewards.

For every ten nights booked online with Hotels.com, whether it’s a bed and breakfast, independently run or a chain,  you get one free night’s stay at a hotel . With over 65, 000 participating hotels across the world, getting a free stay deal in your fave city is easy. But, we know you are sitting there thinking, Do I have to book 10 nights straight in order to get this hotel deal?

We know you’ll love our answer: No. You get a credit for each time you stay, whether it’s in one go or spread out. And the best thing is, each credit is good for three years. Plenty of time to snag your savvy hotel deal.  Credits are also based on how many rooms you book. So if you and a friend book two rooms for five days, that’s 10 credits, which means a one-night-free hotel deal.

With all the last-minute holiday deals out there, make your trip even more money-savvy by getting your free night at a hotel deal with Hotels.com. So come on, get away from it all, even if it’s just for a short time. You’ll be glad you did. And although the calming effects of your trip won’t last, the credits from your stay will.
