Stash Hotel Rewards is offering 10 rooms at a New York City partner hotel at only 1,000 points for one night during the month of August. A random check of Stash Hotel Rewards New York City hotels for Saturday August 18, 2012 shows the points needed for one free night range from 17,074 points for the Affinia Shelburne to 29,930 points for The Strand Hotel. Weekday nights run about 50% more. A hotel room in New York City for 1,000 Stash Hotel Rewards points is a significant discount on the normal redemption rate.
One of the lesser-known hotel programs out there is Stash Rewards, a way to earn rewards while staying at fabulous independent hotels. Stash is quite simple: you’ll earn 5 points per dollar spent on qualifying rates, and redeem those points toward free nights at any of their partner hotels on any date with no capacity controls. The true incentive is you get the chance to stay at a one-of-a-kind property instead of having a cookie cutter room.
Another challenge for boutiques: the comprehensive reward programs offered by brand-name hotel chains. Not surprisingly, some planners opt to book at a big-box property because they can build up points to use as upgrades or apply to future stays. Today, however, more boutique properties are finding ways to compete with the allure of such programs. The Denihan Hospitality Group opted to create its own incentive: Stash Hotel Rewards.
People who prefer independent hotels but who also like discounts, coupons and reward points often must choose one or the other when booking a hotel stay. Until recently, most independent hotels were limited in the number of specials they could offer compared with what a large chain operation could do.
