Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs is offering either a 17% discount on award bookings (each 12,000 point redemption night earns a 2000 point rebate – not sure if this is combinable with 5th night free to earn the rebate on a night you’re not actually ‘paying for’ but I would assume so since the hotel gets paid just the same).

The paid offer is for a $200 food and beverage credit each night on a $199 room rate.

The offer is valid through September 3. Combine a slow hotel year with the off-season in the desert and the offers get pretty crazy (read: hotels get pretty desperate — this hotel didn’t even participate in Starwood Preferred Guest a year ago!).
