Hotels Offering Free Gas Cards to Travelers

With the cost of gas rising many families are canceling their vacation plans to stay at home. We are also seeing a large variety of promotions featuring free gas gift cards. So why is it that I am not surprised when I found that many hotels, resorts, and other attractions are offering guests free gas cards for visiting their business.

Marriott Hotels

The Marriott Hotel chains are offering special deals at a few of their hotels that feature the inclusion of free gas cards.

For example, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Whitemarsh in Baltimore, Maryland offers a $50 free gas card at checkout when you stay the weekend in their hotel. The package also includes complimentary wireless internet and a complimentary breakfast buffet. This offer is available only through August 24^th, and the promotional code for this offer is TRS.

The Courtyard by Marriott in Bellevue, Washington has a special entitled "Cars Eat Free" which includes a $50 Chevron gas card and breakfast for two. The promotion is supposed to be valid through May of 2009 and you can learn more about it on the hotel's website, http://www.marriott.com/specials/mesOffer.mi?marrOfferId=343881&displayLink=true.

The Explore California package is a little more flexible in that you can stay at any participating Marriott hotel in Southern California Thursday night through Sunday night and receive a free $25 gas gift card for each night stayed.
