Giveaway Contest: (2) $250 Fairfield Inn Gift Cards

by Gary Leff

Marriott’s Fairfield Inn & Suites offered up (2) $250 gift cards to give away to my readers in celebration of their Silver September national vacation giveaway.

Fairfield Inn & Suites is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with its national Silver September giveaway, awarding 25 lucky guests with an all-expense paid weekend getaway to one of four premium Fairfield Inn & Suites destinations across the United States. From September 1-25, Fairfield Inn & Suites guests in the United States and Canada* will receive Silver September envelopes upon check-in – 25 of which will contain winning silver tickets.

So if you win the blog contest, and you use your gift cards on a stay by September 25, you could leverage that into another free stay. (And if you use the gift cards by October 31 you can earn MegaBonus credits towards another free night.

It’s interesting that Fairfield is offering weekend getaways, since my mental model of the chain or how I’ve found them useful in the past is business stays in smaller cities. And in fact they pass along a business travel survey as well finding that 76% of people find they’re more prepared in life because of business travel; 86% value time with family and friends more because of their time on the road; 83% value personal time more; 92% say they’re a better traveler overall; 76% believe they’re viewed as experts by their friends.

So here’s the contest, $250 Fairfield Inn gift cards to each of two randomly selected readers who tell me in the comments what you look for in a business hotel?

  10. I look for one with free wifi, and central location to where I need to be. I prefer walking whenever I can, especially at night to go out for dinner and to explore the city.

  11. I look for Free Wi-fi and close proximity to the office I will be working from. Also in a location which has good food.

  27. Clean, comfy room, fresh breakfast, delicious coffee 24 hours…as a reprieve from my family of six!

  29. tripadvisor reviews (most important), location, price, wifi, numerous electrical outlets and free airport shuttle.

  49. I need the toilet paper to be folded in a neat little triangle to demonstrate that nobody else has used it.
