So when I got this email from Kimpton about “up to 40% off” I chuckled, but ran a search anyway. I had a great stay recently at the Kimpton Vintage in Portland, OR and figured “why not?”
On my very first try, searching the “Kimpton : Hotel Palomar Beverly Hills” I landed on a significant savings vs the standard or even the AAA rate.

Now, they do say “Up To” 40% and this is closer to 25% off – but it’s a real 25% off the best possible other rate.
From their email, the terms are:
Book by October 13th, Stay October 15, 2021 through April 30, 2022 / Cancel any time up to three days prior to arrival with no penalty / Limited number of discounted rooms available each night /Subject to availability / Blackout dates may apply
If you have a trip coming up, give it a whirl!
PS: Stack this with offers currently on in your Amex Offers and/or Chase Offers
For example, I have this offer on my Chase Sapphire Reserve®:
