If you’re looking for a deal on hotels, MasterCard has a number of special fall and year end offers currently running:

Hyatt’s Faster Free Nights
Probably the best of the bunch–Hyatt Gold Passport recently launched another Faster Free Nights promotion. From September 1 through December 30, 2008, you’ll earn a free hotel night for every two eligible Hyatt stays. There are no limits on the number of nights you can earn and you can redeem at nearly any Hyatt, subject to capacity controls. (The only exceptions are that redemptions are not available at the Manchester Hyatt in San Diego and the Hyatt Regency Madeleine in Paris, France.) You can redeem for nights between September 15, 2008 and February 28, 2009. In addition, you’ll earn 2,000 bonus points for every two Hyatt stays when you pay with your MasterCard. More details, as well as the full terms and conditions can be found here.

Best Western
Use your MasterCard to pay for two or more nights at a Best Western and you’ll earn double points or miles. This double points offer is valid between September 14, 2008 and November 21, 2008, and you’ll need to join the Gold Crown Club, the hotel’s free rewards program, to register for this promo.

SPG Asia
SPG Asia also has the following offer: “Register today to qualify for a free, two-night weekend getaway when you pay for three different stays with your MasterCard® at participating Starwood hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific from October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Free weekends can be redeemed at selected Starwood hotels in Asia Pacific between November 1, 2008 and January 31, 2009.”

Fairmont Hotels
Receive a free 3rd or 4th night at participating Fairmont hotels when you pay with your Premium*MasterCard card. This “MasterCard Premium Night” offer is valid through December 31, 2009.
