Fill 'Er Up . . . With Rebates
Sunday, May 28, 2006; Page P05
Hotels and attractions nationwide are trying to lure road-tripping tourists this summer with special programs that pay for gasoline. Here's a sampling of the deals being offered. Remember to ask for the promotion at the time of booking, and be sure to save gas receipts, because they often must be presented upon arrival or mailed in with a rebate certificate. Room rates are per night based on double occupancy; deals were available as of press time.
