    /24-7PressRelease/ - PITTSBURGH, PA, August 22, 2008 - Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel is fueling enthusiasm for group travel with free gas.

With Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel's Great Group Gas Up!, meeting attendees who drive to the hotel can earn a $10 gas card for each night of their stay.

Guests must drive and show their hotel parking ticket at the front desk to receive the gas cards upon checkout.
