Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays, ways to earn extra points and deals at various properties. We collected some of this month's best deals below.

Bonus Hyatt points for cardholders at The Unbound Collection

If you hold a World of Hyatt Credit Card, you're in luck — you can earn up to 20,000 bonus points this fall when you stay at The Unbound Collection.

Earn 1,000 bonus World of Hyatt points per night (up to 20,000 points) at participating hotels within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt.

Bonus Marriott points when you rent a car with Hertz

If renting a vehicle is in your fall travel plans, don't forget that you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points on select car rentals. With this promotion, Marriott is offering double rewards when you rent with Hertz.

Earn double Marriott Bonvoy points on Hertz rentals of three or more days in Canada and worldwide that are booked via Marriott's car rental platform. This includes both base points (all members will earn 1,000 points instead of 500 per rental) and elite bonus points (elite Bonvoy members will earn 400 instead of 200 additional points per rental).
Book by Sept. 30, 2024, and pick up your rental by Nov. 30, 2024.

Targeted bonus points on Best Western stays

For travelers planning a fall trip in North America or the Caribbean, Best Western is offering a potentially lucrative promotion. (This promotion is targeted, so some members may not be eligible or may see a slightly different offer.)

Earn 7,770 Best Western Rewards bonus points per eligible stay (up to 10 stays maximum) at any Best Western-branded hotel in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean.
An eligible stay is defined as a stay of at least one night at a rate eligible for earning points, with the exception of stays booked through an online travel agency, through a tour operator or at a special discounted rate. So, if you took a road trip and stayed one night at 10 different hotels, you could maximize this promotion and earn over 77,000 points.
Go here to see if you're eligible and can register for the promotion.
Book by Sept. 2, 2024, and complete your stay by Nov. 18, 2024.
