Great new bonus from Preferred Hotel Group for stays in Canada & Worldwide

Preferred Hotel Group I Prefer is becoming well known, at least for those of us who track bonuses, for providing some big bonuses several times per year. I Prefer’s most famous one is definitely the Cyber Monday offer of 30,000 points on one stay and this new offer, while it doesn’t match that, it is still what we consider to be a big bonus (I’m looking at you David M. to take advantage of this one!) This offer also includes daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade (subject to availability).

The offer is for 20,000 bonus I Prefer points when you book the Unforgettable Moments rate for 2 or more nights using the promo code MKTUFM at any one of over 300 Preferred Hotel Group locations worldwide and this includes three of their Canadian locations. This offer can be earned once per member. Simply book by May 19 for stays until Aug 31, 24. Click here for more details & to book this offer.

The Canadian locations start around C$200 per night for the offer but if you find yourself in Mexico or perhaps Thailand, there are some really low nightly rates for this offer where the bonus provides a bigger return on spending.
