Vancouver: Free Prepaid Mastercard for Hotel Stays until February 2026 = Hotels with up to 49% Discount

Vancouver on Canada‘s west coast is always worth a trip! Unfortunately, the city is not exactly a dark horse – and so hotels are extremely expensive, especially in summer. If you want to save money, you should visit the city during the off-season.

A deal by the local hotel association makes such a visit even cheaper. Anyone staying in one of 43 select hotels by the end of February 2026 will receive a prepaid Mastercard worth up to CA$250 (~€153). You can then use this card to pay your room bill. In this way, you can book hotels in the city up to 49% cheaper than through other sites. The biggest downside of this offer is that the stays booked via the promotional page are not refundable.

You can book easily using the following link:

Apparently, a booking via the portal is considered a direct booking at the hotel. So it should be possible to use the usual status benefits at Hilton, IHG, … and earn points.

Terms & Conditions

You will receive a prepaid Mastercard worth a total of CAD 150 / 200 / 250 for stays of at least 2 nights. The following terms and conditions apply:

• Travel period: until February 28, 2026
• If you book several consecutive stays, this only counts as one stay
• The prepaid Mastercard will be given to you at check-in
• The offer is limited and can be withdrawn at any time
• Each person may take advantage of the offer for a maximum of 3 times

Use the Mastercard to Pay the Hotel Bill

With the Mastercard, you can of course go on a shopping tour and pay for your souvenirs, restaurant visits and more. However, it is much easier to simply use the card to pay the hotel bill.

The fact that this works was also confirmed to us by email. According to a report by the Canadian blog Prince of Travel, employees often suggest this themselves:

These gift cards will be delivered upon check-in. In my experience, the check-in staff will often ask whether you’d simply like to skip the physical gift card itself and simply use the amount to offset against your room charge, so you can think of the gift card as essentially a straight-up discount against the nightly rate.
