TripRewards Card

[mtblujeans]

TripRewards, a free hotel reward program, has combined the reward programs of AmeriHost Inn, Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Knights Inn, Ramada, Super 8 Motel, Travelodge, Villager, and Wingate Inn. In some cases, this new card replaces the hotel's original reward/discount program.

At their website (www.triprewards.com), you can "join" and request a card be sent to you that is shown when you check in to get points toward "rewards" consisting of free hotel nights, travel rewards, entertainment rewards, gift certificates, magazine rewards, charitable donation rewards, merchandise rewards, and Canadian gift certificate rewards. Example: 5,500 points will get you a $25 certificate for Olive Garden. 4,000 points will get you an Entertainment Coupon Book.

There is also an 800 number in case you have problems or questions.

The points seem to add up very quickly and, for a free program, it seems worth the effort.

Thanks! I just booked a room at a Super 8 this morning for a Disneyland trip. I'll go sign up!

Thanks for the info, I just signed up. Ironically I booked two nights at the Wingate Inn in Savannah for our upcoming trip this morning.

I signed up as soon as they opened membership to this one.

My ONLY caution would be to keep your eye on your receipt to make sure your number displays when you check in. I gave him my number at the Days Inn (already had the card from Super 8) and he wrote it down, however, he must not have keyed it in and someone re-entered all my info and I had another card show up 2 weeks later!!! I called and they deleted the one and moved points to the original card.
