Best Western
Best Western has one promotion that has been extended to 2021. With it, you’ll get 2,000 bonus points per stay, which works out especially well if you’re booking shorter stays. TPG values Best Western Rewards at 0.6 cents each, making 2000 bonus points worth about $12. That certainly won’t get you a free night, but it could be helpful if you need to top up your account ahead of a redemption.
| Promotion | Details | Register-by date | Dates of stay |
| Best Western Rewards 2,000 Points Promotion | Earn 2,000 points on your next stay. Check to see if you’re targeted for this offer here. | June 30, 2021 | Jan. 1 – June 30, 2021 |

Choice Privileges
Choice Privileges is running two promotions. With the first, you’ll get double points on stays — up to 30,000 total. With the second, you can earn bonus points on all-inclusive stays. Choice isn’t known for having the fanciest hotels, but you can get rooms at hotels in its portfolio for under 8,000 points a night. You could also use those points for a stay at a nicer property, such as the Cambria Hotel Philadelphia Downtown Center City (20,000 points per night).
| Promotion | Details | Register-by date | Dates of stay |

Hilton Honors
Hilton’s running an unlimited points promotion wherein if you book and stay by May 2, 2021, you’ll earn 2,000 points for every stay. Additionally, you’ll earn 5,000 points for every five nights. If you think you’ll have a Hilton stay coming up and even if you don’t – it doesn’t hurt to register for this promotion. You’ll need to book via Hilton with a code for the 2X Points Package.
| Promotion | Details | Register-by date | Dates of stay |

IHG Rewards Club
The first major promotion of 2021 is here for IHG Rewards Club members: Earn 2,000 bonus points for every two nights or more, for a possible maximum bonus of 70,000 points. While this bonus is worth just $10 in cash, these points qualify toward elite status as well, increasing the value of the promotion.
Travelers will accrue bonus points based on the total number of nights stayed. For example, a guest would earn 2,000 IHG points whether they complete a single two-night stay, or two one-night stays during the promotion period. Likewise, if a traveler who complete a three-night stay followed by a one-night stay will earn 4,000 bonus points.

Marriott is currently three bonus point promotions, with the most lucrative one being a targeted offer.

Omni hotels
Omni is stepping things up this year with a solid promotion: 20% off and 4x award night credits through Mar. 31, 2021. Considering 20 award night credits equals a free night at any Omni, this promotion is pretty generous.
The catch? This promotion is for Omni Gold members only. Members with Platinum or Black status do not qualify for this offer. To take advantage of this promotion, check your email for a registration link. If you don’t qualify for the 4x award night credit portion, you can still get 20% off at select properties, regardless of your status level.
| Promotion | Details | Register-by date | Dates of stay |
| Omni Select promotion | Omni Gold member get 20% off, plus 4x award night credits | N/A | Jan. 1 – Mar. 31, 2021 |
Radisson Rewards
Radisson Rewards’ latest promotions allow you to get 20% of your points back when you redeem for award nights or 15% back on prepaid cards. With the 20% back offer, you can get a portion of your points back, but note that it doesn’t apply to Points + Cash awards.
If you’d rather redeem your points for a gift card rather than a free night, you can also do so now and get 15% of your points back.
| Promotion | Details | Book-by date | Dates of stay |
| 20% of your points back on travel | Get 20% of your points back when you redeem for award nights and airline miles. | Jan. 20, 2021 | Jan. 11 – April 18, 2021 |

Rocketmiles
This is perhaps the easiest way to earn 5,000 points or miles, as long as you remember to book your next hotel stay through Rocketmiles instead of your preferred chain.
| Promotion | Details | Register-by date | Dates of stay |
| Daydream promotion | 5,000 bonus miles or points on your first Rocketmiles booking. | March 31, 2021 | March 31, 2021 |

SPONSORED: With states reopening, enjoying a meal from a restaurant no longer just means curbside pickup.
And when you do spend on dining, you should use a credit card that will maximize your rewards and potentially even score special discounts. Thanks to temporary card bonuses and changes due to coronavirus, you may even be able to score a meal at your favorite restaurant for free.
These are the best credit cards for dining out, taking out, and ordering in to maximize every meal purchase.
