Hurry! Get A Free Hotel Stay At Howard Johnson Newark Airport Via Wyndham’s Best Rate Guarantee!

Thanks dan, I’m flying to israel out of newark in march and orbitz’s price was $65 and hojo’s was $69. I booked on hojo and sent in the claim form. Let’s see what happens. I’ll re-post and let you know.

Nice! What dates did you find that for?

Thanks Dan!

I just did it. I’ll let you know tomorrow if it goes through!

Dan,

I just checked the dates of 3/1 to 3/2 and i see the same rates. I think this deal is available for many dates in March!!!

just wondering do you still get the reward points

Mid-March. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a Bochur-fest over there!

Interesting to note – let’s see what happens: I originally booked for the wrong night (one night too late) and sent in the form. I now booked another room for the night before and sent in another claim. I wonder how they’re gonna do this. Officially the free night is only the first night but what if you book each night separate. I know you would have to check out and back in every day at 12, but I could see many Turnpike Yeshiva guys who would have no problem with that. 🙂

Just got 4/14-4/15

does this work with any other hotels on hojo or any othe cities?

Thanks Dan!

I just got my confirmation, this works! “TOTAL ROOM RATE: $ 0.00 America, Us Dollar (Taxes are not included)”

I wonder how long before they pick up on this. I’m going to book multiple stays (as long as there is a day in between each one) and even if I don;t use it, its free!!!!!!!

I also got my confirmation of a room rate of $0. They did this for the first night I booked (which is what I needed). For the second night I booked I got a response saying they couldn’t find the cheaper room rate on Orbitz. I figured it went up but I checked at it’s still $4 cheaper so I e-mailed them back with a PDF showing the correct room rate. We’ll see what they say. The good thing is that it was 2 different reps who e-mailed me so they each probably don’t know about the other room I reserved.

Confirmed. I just got the second night free as well.

Sam,

I did see it available at some other Hojos. You just have to keep trying different dates at different locations.

Dan,

I’ve already received confirmation for a free night on 3 diiferent stays. Do they have any way they can back out of this?

Careful Starwood Fan. Watch out for taxes which don’t seem to be included.

Taxes are 14% and 14% of $0.00 is $0.00. There is a $15 parking charge though.

Update: I got the following e-mail, but I already got an e-mail confirmation that the price was $0 for both nights. I guess we’ll see what happens.

Dear Mr. —–,

I do apologize the email I sent below was sent in error. The correct email that should have been sent should say:

Thank you for contacting Howard Johnson Customer Care regarding the Howard Johnson Guaranteed Best Available Rate. We appreciate your choice of Howard Johnson for your lodging needs.

Our records indicate you have already validated a Guaranteed Best Available Rate claim, confirmation number ———, for this property on 03/–.

As per our terms and conditions, “Only one valid claim can be submitted for the same arrival date. Only one free room night will be offered per stay. A room night means one guest room for one night, regardless of the number of rooms or reservations booked by the guest. A stay is any number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, even if they result in more than one reservation”, we are unable to process this claim.

So those of you who want to do this should book under different people’s names.

Which competing site did you use on the BGR link?? Do we use Orbitz? But orbitz gave a quote of $64.

kayak.com will give orbitz and hojo.com prices

Exactly. Use orbitz when the BRG claim for asks for a website address. Last I checked Orbitz was $65.21, and as long as hojo.com is anything more than that, it’ll be fine.

Eli,

You will need to book under different names if you are going for more then 1 night. However as long as they are considered different stays (a night in between) I think this can work as many times as you can find it. I have already reserved for about 5 different nights over the next few months, if this place is half decent it will be well worth it!

Eli, maybe they’ll charge $0 for the room, but tax on the full rate? If so, 14% of $64 = $8.96

Starwood Fan:
Which hotels and dates? I cant seem to get it to work anyplace other than EWR

For what it’s worth…….I would not stay in a Haoward Johnson, even it was free!

Eli,

I remember seeing it work at the HOJO Laguardia East but I dont remember the dates. I think it was 3/15 – 3/16.

In any case, that HOJO doesn’t look like the greatests place….

is this offer available for a hotel in Madrid Spain? Many people flying to EY via Spain could use a place to rest while they have a 14 hour stop over!

Both Wyndham and HJ don’t serve Spain.

THANK YOU!!!
1 night (1 Room): USD 0.00
Taxes: USD 15.00

* Total: USD 15.00

yzl, chicago has hojo’s that work with this promotion?

Starwood Fan, I ended up actually getting both nights for free. They must’ve made a mistake and given it to me.

Uri, they cannot charge you tax on $0, but like YZL says, it shows up as a $15 tax. In my opinion, that is the parking charge which will not be charged if you don’t bring a car/don’t tell them you have a car/park somewhere else.
