I’ve used Hotels.com in the past, so I’m on their list to send me these happy bright e-mails about how I can save money if I go somewhere THIS WEEKEND NOW.

Today’s e-mail promises ” hotels.com wants to fill your gas tank!”

The gas rebate has been extended for a limited time! The summer drive season is almost over with Labor Day just days away. With gas prices soaring, hotels.com wants to help you fill up your gas tank.

It’s easy. After your hotel stay, print the rebate form, fill it out, and mail it along with your original gas receipt to the address shown. We’ll refund your gas purchase (up to $30) to the credit card that you used when you booked your room with hotels.com*.

$30? Not much of a gas tank. That would barely get us to Houston from here.
