Shangri-La Golden Circle is more of a niche loyalty program, and not one I talk about much. That's because they don't have any useful transfer partners, and there aren't that many ways to get outsized value from the program, in my opinion. However, for…
IHG has just released their new PointBreaks list, so if you might be interested in making a booking, check out the list now. Last year IHG revamped their PointBreaks promotion. This is a promotion they’ve been offering on a quarterly basis for years,…

Several months ago Hilton and Lyft launched a new partnership, allowing Hilton Honors members to earn bonus points for Lyft reads. With this partnership you have to link your Hilton Honors and Lyft accounts at hiltonhonorslyft.com. You'll then automatically…
In early 2018 the Hyatt Privé program launched, and I wrote about it at the time. In this post I wanted to provide an update on the program, given all of the new brands that Hyatt has added in the past year or so. Hotels still largely rely on travel…
World of Hyatt has a cool partnership with M Life Rewards, allowing World of Hyatt members to earn and redeem World of Hyatt points for MGM stays. Stays at select MGM properties accrue points at the same rates as normal Hyatt properties, and you're also…
The Park Hyatt St. Kitts is an awesome property that opened in late 2017. For those of us who are World of Hyatt loyalists, it's awesome to have a luxury Park Hyatt resort destination that isn't 5,000 miles away. I reviewed the Park Hyatt St. Kitts last…
Radisson Rewards has just announced the details of their next global promotion. While it's valid for stays over a few months, the booking window is extremely limited. Radisson Rewards is offering double points and double elite nights for stays this fall.…
Best Western Rewards isn't the most generous loyalty program out there, and for that matter Best Western doesn't have that many aspirational properties. They do offer promotions every so often, though. Their most common promotion is for a $10-20 gift…
Over the past few years I've had a lot of inquiries from readers and clients about the Four Seasons properties in Hawaii. Of all the Four Seasons properties, I receive the most emails and make the most bookings at the Four Seasons resorts currently operating…

Of all of the major hotel chains, Hilton Honors is by far the most consistent and generous with the promotions they offer. They constantly run promotions (typically without even a day gap between them), so that's great for members. Yesterday Hilton Honors'…
I’m a huge fan of The World of Hyatt Credit Card. In addition to all of the awesome published perks, the card sometimes offers additional exclusive cardmember deals. These can add even further value for members. For example, over the summer those…
For the past few years, most of IHG’s global hotel promotions have been customized. Everyone gets some type of offer, but different members get targeted for different versions of the offer. The logic is that hotel loyalty programs want to generate incremental…
Choice Privileges' last major promotion ended on April 26, 2019, and with that promotion they offered 8,000 bonus points after every two stays. Now the hotel group has announced the details of their next promotion, which is roughly the same. Choice Privileges…
Hilton Honors has a pretty awesome supplemental promotion at the moment. On the surface this seems to be targeted, though I don't think it is (as I'll explain below). Hilton Honors is offering 7,500 bonus points after two stays that are completed by…
Hyatt has just announced a fantastic promotion. Those with either of Hyatt's co-branded credit cards, including The World of Hyatt Credit Card, can receive a 10% refund on points redemptions for stays between July 1 and September 2, 2019. In order to…
I've written in the past about how Marriott is the only major hotel group to offer a lucrative bonus for new members who join their loyalty program and complete qualifying stays. This promotion has been around for quite a while, but Marriott keeps extending…
