Cheap Hotels With beVancouver Through April 2017

Link:   beVancouver Promotion

Link:   beVancouver Terms & Conditions

Between now and April 30, 2017, you can receive an American Express gift card worth 50 to 125 Canadian dollars (~$38 to ~$95) for your first night at participating hotels through the beVancouver American Express promotion.  Plus, you’ll receive another American Express gift card for each additional night you stay.

Here are the details:

• You must book through the beVancouver website and check-in by April 30, 2017
• You must pay with a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express
• Bookings are pre-paid and can NOT be cancelled
• Gift cards do NOT have to be used towards the hotel booking.  You can use them anywhere AMEX gift cards are accepted
• Only 3 bookings per person for this offer
• Booking separate consecutive nights at the same hotel will NOT earn you more than one 50, 75, 100 or 125 Canadian dollar AMEX gift card

Note:  While the promotion says the bookings are pre-paid, folks report certain hotels don’t charge you until you check-out.  So you can use the gift cards towards your stay!

There’s plenty to do in Vancouver!  Take in the ocean and mountains in Stanley Park, head to Granville Island, or spend the day at Science World!  Vancouver is also near lots of skiing opportunities, and just a stone’s throw from Seattle.

There are 35 hotels participating in this promotion.  Search your dates here to see which hotels are available.

Each person can only take advantage of this promotion 3 times.  But if you’re with friends or family, you can split up the bookings to earn more!

Know How Much You’re Saving

Because the room prices shown are before taxes, and the gift card value is in Canadian dollars, you may not be saving as much as you first think!

1.   Pan Pacific Vancouver

For example, the Pan Pacific Vancouver is a 5-star hotel with a great location.  The price per night is ~$193 (before taxes).  You’ll receive 125 Canadian dollars (~$95) off your first night, and 50 Canadian dollars (~$38) off any additional nights.

Once you get to the final booking screen, you can see how much you’ll actually pay for the room.  After taxes, this Pan Pacific Vancouver room listed costs ~$227.  You’ll still spend $132 after this discount (~$227 room price – ~$95 gift card) for the first night.

And because you’ll receive a 50 Canadian dollar (~$38) discount for additional nights, you’ll spend ~$189 for each additional night (~$227 room price – ~$38 gift card).

So you’ll get the greatest discount on 1-night hotel stays.  In this case, the 50 Canadian dollar gift card for subsequent nights barely covers the taxes and fees.

2.   Executive Hotel Vintage Park

Booking a room at the Executive Hotel Vintage Park will get you a 75 Canadian dollar (~$57) AMEX gift card.  A night in February costs ~$85.  So you’ll pay just ~$28 for your first night!

And if you stay additional nights, you’ll receive a 50 Canadian dollar (~$38) AMEX gift card per night.  So you’ll pay just ~$47 per night!

This is an excellent deal!  You could even use your savings as an excuse to upgrade your room.

To be sure you’re getting the best deal, you can check sites like Orbitz, Kayak, and Hotel Tonight.  Rooms seemed to have the same price through beVancouver when I checked.

Note:  Because this is a Canadian website, don’t forget to use a card that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.

Bottom Line

You can save 50 to 125 Canadian dollars (~$38 to ~$95) per stay at Vancouver hotels this winter with the beVancouver American Express promotion.  Just be sure your check-in date is by April 30, 2017.

All rooms are pre-paid and non-refundable, so be sure of your plans before you book.  And each person can only use this promotion 3 times.

Remember, this promotion will charge you in Canadian dollars, so use a card that has no foreign transaction fees, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred.
