Find a way to use the $200 resort credits each six months and it’s practically a money-maker card.

Interesting. Like, how much can YYZ, YUL, YVR take? I suppose they could also ramp up at YYC, YOW, YHZ, YEG, too. Everywhere else is not really a major airport. Did they lift for AY, QR, AI, others?

I guess it has more to do with the countries the airlines are based in rather than specific airlines, it’s very possible that other major GCC carriers would follow.

I think Hilton may have changed the rule about a status match only being once per lifetime. The website now says "Members are eligible to participate in the Hilton Honors B2B Status Match once per year."
