A potential good deal for the weekend family travelers.  Starwood and MasterCard are running a promotion offering 20% off the nightly rate when booking two weekend nights.

The usual fine print applies – not all hotels participate and the rate is prepaid/non-refundable.  Although it isn’t entirely clear from the title, the 20% off appears to apply to all nights in your reservation as long as two weekend nights are included in the stay.  This promotion is valid for stays booked between May 15 –December 31, 2014 and completed by March 31, 2015.

Still, there are a wide range of participating Starwood hotels in the Sheraton, Westin and Le Meridien families.  I tested the new Westin Harborview here in Portland, Maine, and sure enough, most weekends are available – even now during peak tourist season.

Some folks are reporting error messages such as “invalid rate” when searching from the landing page above.  If that happens, manually enter the promo code Z2H or Z2R on the resulting search page and click Update.
