The ever-lucrative Stay Vancouver promotion has returned yet again, offering up to a $125 prepaid Mastercard gift card for staying at Vancouver hotels between October 1 and December 31, 2022.
Stay Vancouver: $125 Mastercard Gift Card on Your First Two Nights
Supported by Vancouver’s tourism council, Stay Vancouver is a promotion incentivizing travellers to visit the city, stay with its hotels, and spend money locally to support the local tourism sector.
To that end, the promotion offers a Mastercard prepaid gift card of up to $125 on as long as you stay at least two nights at a participating hotel.

Indeed, you can stack this promotion with the ongoing Marriott or Hyatt Amex Offers to unlock even further savings!
Hotel-Hopping
Since the gift card is only offered the first two nights, you obviously get a better deal on the first two nights than on any subsequent nights.
Some travellers may be incentivized to go “hotel-hopping” between various hotels every two nights to maximize their return. For this to work, you’ll actually need to pack up your belongings and move between hotels, as the terms state that “booking subsequent nights as separate reservations will be treated the same as a single reservation…
