StayVancouverHotels.com often offers what we believe is the best deal for hotels in downtown Vancouver. Prices can sometimes be less than $150 for some places!
Those top offers don’t happen all the time, but they do every once in a while.
One of the best deals is when StayVancouverHotels.com has a campaign when they give away credit card gift cards. Such a deal was happening up until March 31st, where, if you stayed two nights at a participating downtown Vancouver hotel between March 15th and April 30th in 2025, you could get a prepaid credit card gift card worth up to $250. It was only available for a limited time though, and not anymore. That being said, StayVancouverHotels.com always has other valuable bonus perk options too.

Unbelievable Gift Card Bonus Offers for Downtown Vancouver Hotels!
Whether you’re visiting from out of town or you’re a local wanting a staycation, StayVancouverHotels.com is often the best way to book a hotel in downtown Vancouver. That’s especially the case when the site has its credit card bonus gift campaigns.
During the recent credit card-related campaign you could earn between $75 and $125 per night for a two-night stay. That came to between $150 and $250 total. The gift card values varied depending on the hotel you chose.
Some hotels in Vancouver are admittedly expensive. Others, however, are surprisingly affordable, especially in the slower seasons (like in the fall, late winter and early spring). After getting your bonus credit gift card, the savings during the deal can be especially impressive (even at peak times like on long weekends)!
Below we explain in detail how the gift card promotion works.
Note: StayVancouverHotels.com offers great deals on downtown hotels throughout the year. Usually you can get a $25 gift card for something like Starbucks per reservation, or sometimes even free admission to the Vancouver International Wine Festival. At other times you might be able to get discounted tickets to events like the BMO Vancouver Marathon or GranFondo cycling race, or free tickets to attractions like FlyOver at Canada Place.
Important Notes about StayVancouverHotels.com and the Credit Card Gift Card Promotions
There are a number of important things to know and consider about the credit gift card promotions when they happen through StayVancouverHotels.com. Below is additional information and some useful tips for when the campaign happens. One especially important thing to know though is, with the spring campaign in 2025, reservations where you get the Prepaid Mastercard bonus were non-refundable. In past similar promotions you could cancel your reservation with 48 hours notice, but not this time.
About the Bonus Gifts, Availability and Rates
- Sometimes StayVancouverHotels.com’s credit card deal is for a one or a two-night stay. With the campaign that’s currently happening, it’s just for two-night stays and more. You need to book at least two nights in a row at the same hotel to qualify.
- Reservations made at participating hotels had to be for stays between March 15th and April 30th, 2025.
- Hotel rooms qualifying for the gift card promotion are limited and the best deals, especially for peak-demand dates, usually get scooped up quick. If you want the best rates and selection of accommodation types, especially around stat holidays, you need to book as early as you can!
- When the campaign happens, the credit card bonus offer is a limited-time promotion. Once all the cards are given away, the campaign ends.
- You can find really good rates on the StayVancouverHotels.com website at most times of the year, but especially when the site offers its credit card bonuses. You have to look carefully through the list of hotel offerings, though, to find the very best deals. That’s because some places, on a given date, are priced more competitively than others.
- Prices aren’t super low for all hotels on the StayVancouverHotels.com website (although a good number are). Rates for some hotels are incredible, some are good, and some are just okay. It all depends on the hotel and its room availability. On average, though, the prices you’ll find are very competitive. And if you look through the full list of hotels, you’ll see some places offering amazing deals you likely won’t find anywhere else!
- During most credit card promotional campaigns, but not the current one in March and April 2025, reservations can be cancelled up to 48 hours prior to your stay. With the recent campaign, however, reservations were non-cancellable.
When Making Your Reservation and Payment
- For qualifying stays during the campaign’s run, you receive your gift cards at the time of check-in at your hotel. You don’t have to wait weeks for the rebate to arrive in the mail, which is awesome. You get it right away, and you can spend it anywhere that accepts Mastercard credit cards (including at your hotel you’re staying in).
- When making your reservation online, double-check the details carefully. Are you selecting the correct dates, type of room and number of occupants? And does the confirmation page show the correct bonus offer (given that credit gift card bonuses aren’t the only option). Make sure everything is correct before clicking “confirm.”
- Also before selecting a place to stay and then clicking “confirm,” double-check the final price. Depending on the hotel and basic room rate, taxes and fees can cost between about $25 and $50 or more per night. A small number of the hotels, though, charge a fair bit in extra fees, like occasionally as much as over $100 including taxes. The final price might still be a good deal overall, but not as good as it might initially appear or as great as some of the other hotels.

More Credit Card Bonus Campaign Details
Below is more information about StayVancouverHotels.com‘s amazing Mastercard gift card deal that recently ran. (Note: Exact details are subject to change. See the official website for the most up-to-date terms and information.)
- Different hotels offer different credit card gift card dollar amounts. Quite a few offer $75 per night for your two-night stay. Others $100 and a few $125. Generally the more expensive the hotel, the higher the value of the bonus gift.
- With the Mastercard promotion you can claim the reward for up to three separate reservations and can pay for your stay with the gift card, or any credit card.
- Terms and conditions related to the credit card promotional campaign are subject to change at any time. See the official website for the most up-to-date details.
- Be aware that the credit cards sometimes have expiry dates, so don’t hang on to your cards for a long time before spending them. After the expiry date on the card, they likely won’t have any value left. Also, after a certain period of time, the cards can incur a monthly fee (of about $2.50). If you use your gift card within a few months of receiving it, you have nothing to worry about. If you forget about it or hold onto it for a year or more, however, the card might lose some or all of its value.

Hotel Deals Through Travel Websites
- How can it offer such good deals!? StayVancouverHotels.com works directly with an association of downtown Vancouver hotels. It promotes just them, and the website doesn’t charge the hotels as much in commission as big multinational travel websites do. And when the program partners with a credit card company (like Mastercard) and provides extra big bonuses, the credit card company helps subsidize the promotion.
- If you do a search for downtown Vancouver hotel rooms using travel websites like Trivago, they won’t show you the rates available on StayVancouverHotels.com (not even in the cases when they are clearly the best). To find deals like the past Mastercard gift card rebate offer, you need to go directly to the StayVancouverHotels.com website.
