Redeeming points for hotel stays can be an effective way to save on travel expenses. Several major hotel chains offer promotions where guests can receive a fourth or fifth night free when booking award stays using points.
Three prominent hotel programs provide this benefit: Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and IHG One Rewards. To qualify, travelers must book four or five consecutive nights at the same hotel using points. This offer does not apply to free night certificates or points-and-cash awards. The discount is applied automatically during the booking process.
Marriott Bonvoy offers a "Stay for 5, Pay for 4" promotion, granting a fifth night free when booking four consecutive nights with points. This benefit is available to all members and applies to every fifth night without limitation across all Bonvoy properties. However, if nightly rates vary during the stay, Marriott will cover the least expensive night instead of the actual fifth night.
