## Summary

I Prefer Hotel Rewards, the loyalty program for Preferred Hotels & Resorts, is running a summer promotion offering $50 USD reward certificates for eligible stays. **Promotion Details:**
- **Earning:** $50 USD certificate per distinct hotel stay.
- **Cap:** Up to 5 certificates ($250 USD total).
- **Eligibility:** Minimum two consecutive nights per stay.
- **Window:** Stays must occur between May 5 and August 31, 2026.
- **Registration:** Required on the I Prefer site before the stay.
- **Validity:** Certificates expire December 31, 2026.
- **Issuance:** Within seven business days after departure. **Key Constraints:**
- Repeat stays at the same property do not earn additional certificates; bookings must be at different hotels to maximize earnings.
- Reservations made before registration do not qualify.
- Paid stays only; Aeroplan HotelSavers redemptions are not eligible. **Value Analysis:**
- The certificate functions as cash-back. Value is highest on mid-tier properties (e.g., ~25% off on a $200 stay) and lower on luxury properties (~5% off on a $1,000 stay).
- Points earned on the stay stack with the certificate. **Aeroplan Stacking:**
- While HotelSavers redemptions don't qualify, travelers can use a split-stay strategy: book the first two nights on cash to secure the certificate, then continue the stay on points or cash
