Marriott 2,500 bonus points per stay promotion, and a potential trick
Marriott has finally revealed a new global promotion for bonus points, which you can register here.
The Story Behind Accor’s Shareholders Club
Having suffered from their horrible IT system and customer service, Accor is my least favourite major hotel chain. Today I’ll tell an interesting story of their Club des Actionnaires, a.k.a Shareholders Club, for those who are relatively new to the game and didn’t know about it.
Redeem IHG points for executive rooms and suites
One complaint that I’ve heard from many frequent travellers is the lack of options to redeem for non-standard rooms, and it is especially inconvenient when you travel as a family. Some hotel chains, including Marriott and Hyatt, have introduced features to allow for booking higher-category rooms in recent years, at least to some extent.
(more…)IHG 50% off UK and Europe sale!
IHG has been running a “More to See” promotion for a while, and I just realised that it has been upgraded from “buy 2 get 1 free” to “buy 1 get 1 free”!
Marriott’s great 25% off + breakfast offer in UK and Europe
This offer has actually being going on for a while. I didn’t plan to write about it in the first place but just realised recently that it’s actually quite decent, so will briefly talk about it today.
(more…)Join or renew IHG Ambassador membership for a free night voucher
I personally value the IHG Ambassador programme highly, and have written an introduction to it. It appears that a great offer is coming your way, if you are due to buying or renewing your membership.
The offer is not live yet, so there isn’t any official page at this point. But you can already see all details in the Ambassador programme’s terms and conditions.
In a few words, if you join and renew the membership during the offer period, you will be awarded a free night voucher after one qualifying stay! And more details:
- Offer period: 30/07/2020 – 15/11/2020
- You need to stay once by 31/01/2021
- The stay must be paid, and at one of the following three brands: InterContinental, Regent and Kimpton
- The voucher is valid till 30/04/2021
- You will still get the weekend night certificate (BOGOF voucher)
The voucher entities you to an award night stay, up to the value of 40,000 points. There doesn’t seem to be any brand restriction, however I’d assume most people would want to use it on top hotels. After the introduction of dynamic pricing, many of Kimpton, InterContinental or even Regent hotels in Europe can be had for this price.
You don’t need to sign up to this offer, just purchase or renew your membership as usual. However, one can only renew the membership within 60 days of the expiry – my membership expires September next year after two extensions, so unfortunately I have no chance to participate.
Impressive 50% off sale at some UK Marriott hotels
I’m going to Scotland for a few days in the next week and have been monitoring hotel prices for a while. This morning I saw a rate at Courtyard Edinburgh, so low that I thought there’s a system glitch or something. It turns out though, that some Marriott hotels in the UK are running a flash sale.
