After that you should get a free night and free upgrade. You can prove by email (wrpromo@hotels.com), mail or fax.
Open to new WelcomeRewards members or members without any program bookings...which means it's not for me.
Is it possible that this is only open to US users? I clicked the link and got a message conveying appologies that the offer I clicked on is not avaliable (mesage was in German as is my IP address). Sounds like a nice offer though.
Thanks, I signed up. Does anyone know what the real benefits for "Fivestar" members are? As far as I can tell, there's a special phone number and email address for customer service, which I hopefully will never need. Is the "Premium Price Match Guarantee" and "Hassle-free travel guarantee" of any use? Or is it just meaningless marketing speak?
I jumped through the hoops and got the magic BOGO code. Hotelsdotcom price for my date/location was 20% higher than the hotel's site. Didn't have the energy to fight for the BOGO and PM. (Thanks Cartera for pushing my cynicism to the max). Booked directly with the property.
