My wife questioned my loyalty program expertise when I told her this week she lost all her Marriott Rewards points due to no Marriott Rewards activity in the past 24 months. We’re sorry, but your points expired on 02/01/16. Our records show no account activity for at least 24 months. I had not thought about…
SPG expanded its Stay Two 2016 promotion for double points on stays of two or more nights worldwide with an additional component for 2,500 bonus points after 15 nights and an additional 7,500 bonus points after 20 nights between January 11 and April 30, 2016. Loyalty Traveler – SPG Take Two Double Points Jan 11…
Some of the best deals I see this week in hotels are room rate discounts across Europe with Accor, Club Carlson and Hilton. Kimpton, Marriott and Starwood have sales on the USA home front. January is a tough month for promotions with Marriott Rewards in between MegaBonus offers Jan 16-31. Club Carlson has no new…
SPG released its 2016-Q1 promotion Take Two offering double points for Starwood Hotel stays worldwide from January 11 through April 30. There is also a supplementary 250 bonus points per night at around 260 hotels, less than 20% of Starwood Hotels globally. Double points means 4 points per dollar rather than the normal 2 base…
This morning the news posted of a major hotel chain merger with Marriott buying out Starwood Hotels in a takeover acquisition. I never saw Marriott International mentioned in 2015 during all the speculation of a Starwood acquisition, but I have felt the chain has been making the most news in the past few years with…
The news of Hyatt Hotels takeover talks for Starwood Hotels had me thinking about how the two hotel chains compare for hotel brands, number of hotels in each brand and average daily rates for each brand. Here are tables I made from the most recent Third Quarter 2015 Financial Statements for each hotel chain. Hyatt…
SPG Hot Escapes are out with a very limited selection of 64 hotels on this week’s October 28 list. Two hotels catch my eye this week as good value for my Asia escape on a $389 Delta Airlines ticket SJC-KUL I bought last April. St. Regis Singapore is $239 on weekend nights – Friday, Saturday…
When I logged into my SPG account today I was greeted with an offer for 7,500 bonus points after three hotel stays between October 1 and December 31, 2015. This is the second time I have received this offer in 2015. This has been a year of burning hotel points for most of my stays.…
SPG Hot Escapes this week is far larger than last week’s deals with 100 hotels in the USA and Canada and another 70 hotels elsewhere. On of this week’s hot spots for hot escapes is Thailand with 16 hotels. Thailand Le Meridien Koh Samui is $89 or $110 nearly every date. Of course, this is…
Starwood Preferred Guest is one of the miles and points bloggers darling chains, but I have hardly stayed in Starwood Hotels over the past three years due to continually poor promotions. SPG Stay for More offers double points for 2 night stays and an additional 500 points for an extended stay three nights or more.…
