IHG’s (InterContinental Hotels Group) Twitter-exclusive travel deal – the largest offered in the hotel industry for Black Friday – is back again to kick off the holiday travel season. 

For the many travelers who look forward to the holidays to reconnect with family and friends to those simply enjoying long winter weekends, IHG is spreading holiday cheer early this year with its
“Gotta Get 100” promotion.

Announced today, followers of @IHG_Deals who uncover the “Gotta Get 100” link and register for the promotion Nov. 1 through Nov. 28 will be eligible for $100 off of any flight on any airline to any destination, when they book two consecutive weekend nights (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) at any IHG hotel through April 29, 2012.  The reward for the “Gotta Get 100” promotion is double that of IHG’s 2010 Black Friday offer.

“With these extra airline fees increasing year after year, we’re always looking for ways to make holiday travel easier for our guests,” said Del Ross, vice president, U.S. Sales & Marketing, IHG. “Gotta Get 100 gives our guests $100 off the lowest published flight; double that of our offer last year.
