Looking forward to the holiday weekend at the New Jersey shore with my family. We enjoy spending time on the beach in Ventnor and Margate, walking and bike riding on the boardwalk, outlet shopping and of course I enjoy earning more free nights. We will be staying at the Atlantic City Sheraton. The first night will cost $45 plus tax and 2800 Starwood points for each room. Our rate for the second night is the Shop Your Way package. For $99 plus tax it includes parking, an outlet coupon book, $5 coupon for the hotel restaurants, 1,000 Starwood points for our next stay and some additional discounts. Much advance planning was needed to get these rates for the holiday weekend.

Our weekend at the Atlantic City Sheraton will start our Starwood stays for their Getaway free promotion.
