The Big Hotel Points Giveaway: Enter for a Chance to Win Hilton, Hyatt, Starwood, or Marriott Points Thanks to the MobileSuites App!

by Gary Leff

I’ve never really been jealous of iPhone users before. I’m an Android guy, and that means I can’t download the new MobileSuites app when it comes out in a few weeks. It’s only for the Apple ecosystem at launch.

This app will let you order room service, request housekeeping, set up transportation, and reserve restaurant and spa services regardless of where you’re staying.

They have a database of over 1200 hotels including many from the major hotel chains and rolling out quickly across their portfolio of full service hotels. Through their free app, MobileSuites facilitate interaction between guests and hotels (they aren’t formally partnered with the chains at this point).

They offered to give a View from the Wing reader a bunch of hotel points. For avoidance of doubt, nothing to me for running the contest, just an opportunity to highlight something that sounds pretty cool and to get hotel points to a reader.

And I do think this is a great idea. Since I hate the phone, and since hotels always get my room service orders wrong (I’d much rather communicate it in writing), I’m excited with this functionality.

When Hyatt’s Andaz brand first rolled out one of the things they offered was hotel services via text. I had mixed results with it four years ago.

Key things to know about the roll-out of the app:

  • The first 2000 signups that enter an email address on their website will receive early access to the MobileSuites app (on March 1st).

  • Anybody that signs up and refers a friend will be entered into a drawing for a free 3 night stay at any of the hotels on the app.

  • They tell me that starting March 1st the app will be available at nearly every full-service Starwood, Hyatt, Hilton, and Marriott hotel across the country.

Given that they’re working with these four brands, the winner of this giveaway will have their choice of one of:

  • 70,000 Hilton points
  • 30,000 Hyatt points
  • 20,000 Starwood points
  • 55,000 Marriott points

Here’s how to enter to win points:

  1. Visit the MobileSuites website. By the way, you really should sign up to be able to download their app if you can..
  2. Leave a comment on this post with the specific hotel you’d most like to try their service with.
  3. You can enter up to 5 times, by mentioning 5 different hotels.

Entries close Sunday, February 8 at Noon Eastern. I’ll draw one winner with the help of random.org. As always with my giveaways, I’m trying to provide value to readers and not taking anything for running this contest. All of my decisions are final, and by entering you specifically agree to waive any claims related to the contest.

  1. I’d love to try this service at the 15 on Orange Hotel in Cape Town, part of Marriott Rewards.

  2. This would come in handy at the Hyatt Regency in Johannesburg, which I’ll be visiting later this year!

  18. I would also love to try this with Le Meridien Bangkok, my absolute favorite Starwood property. The place is spectacular. This addition would make it even better.

  36. 2nd choice- would use at Ritz Carlton Kyoto, these Marriott points would be 5K short of the needed 60K!

  54. To continue my love of Hyatt… will use 30K points at Park Hyatt Milan! Will be in Italy next year!

  64. I could use this at the Doubletree Cape Town – Upper Eastside, where I’ll be staying as part of my honeymoon.

  68. I would have loved to use this at the JW Marriott in Lima to book the wonderful massages we enjoyed on our last visit!

  101. This looks very interesting — I’d like to try it at The Liberty in Boston (SPG Luxury Collection) when I visit in April.

  120. I’d go for the Hilton Park Lane in London, since that is the next place I am staying after March 1.

  157. I’d like to try it with Ritz Carlton in Barcelona, assuming that is included in the Marriott chain.

  201. Doesn’t look like this is international yet, but I’ll be at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in a couple of months, and it’d be awesome to use it there.

  202. The Hilton of Chicago during the midwinter meeting would be nice if it came out earlier than March 1!

  251. I love the room service at the Hyatt Regency Kyoto, so not having to pick up the phone would be even better.

  527. Or the Park Hyatt Maldives but not for breakfast there. The room service dinner / lunch options are good.

  587. I’m taking my daughter to San Fran this Spring after her college graduation. Would love to stay at Grand Hyatt San Fran!

  604. The Park Hyatt Buenos Aires. I know they’d have English-proficient room service personnel, but this way I would t have to display my complete lack of bi-linguism!

  641. Andaz 5th Avenue. I’ve tried the Wall Street location but heard that 5th Avenue is far superior.

  682. I don’t think this will work, but I’d like to try it anyway at the Park Hyatt Sydney. 🙂

  809. I would love to try it at the Hilton Cabana Miami Beach. My snowblower broke down yesterday amidst the winter storm, and it feels like negative two right now. Oh to be on the beach!

  856. How are you seeing the actual hotels? I see the general brand logos scrolling past, but can’t see a full list. Hoping that it’s there: the Andaz Maui.

  907. I’ve stayed at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare once and it is a great hotel. Close to the airport and amazing rooms.

  1022. Conrad Koh Samui has a lot going for it, though I have to find a way to get there on award ticket first

  1025. My last entry would be, Grand Hyatt Santiago. Unassuming but very good hotel by all accounts, and would be much much cheaper for redemption and potentially a nice holiday.

  1059. Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile – My wife and I want to visit the Windy City to see some art, a beautiful ball park, and history: Nighthawks, Wrigley Field, and a German U-boat!

  1160. 20000 SPG points would allow a tenth anniversary stay at the The Westin Europa & Regina, Venice, Italy!

  1235. I’d like to use the MobileSuites website to book a room with Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth, NH.

  1248. Park Hyatt Sydney, although the staff there seem to be almost telepathic, so the app may be unnecessary!

  1262. The lack of Hyatt House/Places in Canada has been an annoyance, but I’ll be in Toronto in a few weeks and would love to try out the Park Hyatt there instead of my usual cheaper brands.

  1288. Le Méridien Fisherman’s Cove in the Seychelles is the hotel I would probably enjoy with the points. Thank you.

  1308. The Conrad NY has had a similar app/service for years and I find it amazing.

    I would like to try this at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead Atlanta.

  1374. I just bet I can find a hotel in Las Vegas before I head out to my next hiking trip across the border in Utah.

  1399. I really want to stay at the Conrad Bali, so those Hilton Honors points would certainly help!

  1483. Add to Marriott miles I’ve already got for an additional night at its Champs d’Elysee hotel in Paris.

  1532. In Hawaii I would agree with the many Hyatt takes the crown jewel. They are terrific on all the islands.

  1679. St Regis San Francisco for the great restaurant AME downstairs – room services – heck yes!

  1684. St. Regis NYC
    St. Regis Washington
    Park Hyatt NYC
    Ritz-Carlton NYC Central Park
    Ritz-Carlton Washington

  1883. I’d LOVE to try the new Park Hyatt Santa in China. My only Park Hyatt stays have been Paris and Chicago. Gotta broaden my PH horizon! 🙂

  1922. So I hope all of these entries that don’t list a specific hotel will be disqualified. 🙂

    I’ll take the points for the Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale.

  1980. Also would love to go back to the Park Hyatt Sydney and try the mobile app there! What a great hotel experience.

  1981. Never been to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, but it looks like a world class hotel and I’d like to try the mobile app staying there.

  2099. Intercontinental Thalasso Bora Bora.

    oh wait, it’s got to be from one of the chains? St Regis Bora Bora will do.

  2103. We’re hoping to do a trip in 2016 to South America, so the Mobile Suits app would come in handy for the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires and the (not yet open) Hyatt Regency Rio de Janeiro!

  2104. If I could type. Mobile Suits app – OY. My other half wants to try the Mobile Suite app at the Waldorf Astoria in London (he’s a big Hilton guy)!

  2149. For Hilton, I really would like to have a New Year Eve stay at DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel New York City – Times Square.

  2230. Thanks to your post I scored tickets on AA to Milan! So I would love to stay at the Park Hyatt Milan. 🙂

  2292. I would also enjoy using the new mobile app while staying at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge when I go to visit my Mom

  2294. The Hyatt resort in Key West would be a fun place…just two blocks from Sloppy Joes bar on Duval St

  2295. Lastly, The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress makes a great base for an Orlando vacation for the family.

  2311. Grand Hyatt Tokyo, I’ve never stayed at a Grand Hyatt before, and I think it would be a wonderful date night

  2312. I’m also thinking about the Ritz Carlton Kyoto. I just read a powerful review for it, and my gf wants to go.

  2313. The last two are Ritz Carlton Okinawa, and Hilton Okinawa. I’ve always wanted to go to Okinawa.
