In the early days of the American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts program, there were a handful of hotels offering a complimentary second night with a paid first night. They have now become hotels offering a complimentary third or fourth night. I just received a mailer about a free second night at Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai using the American Express Fine Hotel & Resorts program available for Platinum and Centurion cardholders. This is essentially a buy 1 night, get the second night for free.

Here are the details:
Stay two consecutive nights at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai and receive the second night complimentary. And when you book with Platinum Travel Service you’ll receive all of your FINE HOTEL & RESORTS amenities including a room upgrade-based on availability, daily breakfast for up to two people, 4pm late checkout, and a US$100 food and beverage credit to be used during your stay. Refer to promotion code FHR11662 to take advantage of this offer.
Valid for bookings between Jun 4, 2013 – Sep 11, 2013 and valid for travel between Jun 28, 2013 – Sep 15, 2013. There is a minimum 2 nights and the promotion code is FHR11662. I would highly recommend you call American Express to book this and reference the promotion code: FHR11662.
I found average daily rates to be about $457+ tax = $525.01
For $525.01 (tax included), you will be getting:
2 nights at the Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai
Noon Check-In
Complimentary Room upgrade (if available)
Daily breakfast for 2
$100 food & beverage credit OR a massage for 2 people
4pm Late Checkout
This is an amazing deal for a new property in Pudong, Shanghai and I’m glad American Express is bringing back complimentary second nights to hotel properties. I hope American Express adds more hotels that offer a second night free to the Fine Hotels & Resorts program.
Will you be taking advantage of this deal?
