New Hotels.com Road Trips Provides Local Drive Alternatives Good on One Tank
of Gas
DALLAS, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Hotels.com, http://www.hotels.com, the largest
specialized discount lodging online travel site worldwide, announced today it
is offering its customers a gasoline rebate to help take the sting out of
rising gasoline prices. The national average for gasoline prices has been on
the rise in recent weeks and is hitting all-time highs topping more than $2.00
per gallon in some cities across the country. Travelers booking
accommodations for three nights or more will receive up to $30 back from
Hotels.com.
'Many more people travel by car, truck and motorcycle than by any other
mode of transportation. This gasoline rebate fits into our philosophy of
providing consumers with the most value for their travel dollars, whether it
be by offering the lowest hotel rate guarantee or by helping reduce overall
travel expenditures," stated Cheryl Rosner, president of Hotels.com.
"Additionally, the launch of our new product Road Trips now offers travelers
local drive destinations providing information and booking capabilities up to
six hours of their homes enabling them to take a trip on just one tank of
gas."
Travelers will find a "Gasoline Rebate" icon on the Hotels.com after
clicking the deals and specials tab on the homepage providing them with
details of the promotion. To qualify for the rebate travelers must book
accommodations now through May 11, 2004 for three nights or more at any of the
more than 400 markets worldwide serviced by Hotels.com for stays through
August 31, 2004. Upon completion of their trip, travelers simply need to mail
in a copy of their gasoline receipt along with the rebate certificate they
find online; Hotels.com will then credit their charge card for the amount
spent on gas up to $30. See the hotels.com web site for full details.
