Intercontinental Times Square, and consider doing it on points. Currently it is about 29000 points a night and there is a 100% bonus points sale on at the moment. 13 nights prices at 377000 points for rough Jan/Feb dates of 28/1 to 10/2, 376000 points cost $1880USD in the sale. Edit: if...

I did say he is big.

This is Caesar, purebred Ragdoll. He’s now 9 months old and 5.7kg, he is a monster. I am not sure what he was watching on the television.

Indeed a generous offer and I too would like to register an interest for the passes for a USA trip in November.

The 50% offer is on again for IHG reward nights for Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean. Book between 7 August and 13 August for stays between 7 August and 27 October 2018. Combine with the current 100% bonus points purchase until 22 August for better value. I used this last year for the...

I just had a look, the rates for Crowne Plaza Times Square have increased dramatically, however points are still a good option with the current bonus. $900 USD a night v 60000 points, 3 nights can be had for $1000 USD (80% bonus points, 180000 for $1000 USD, it was a lot better a few months ago).

I've also found reward nights at Crowne Plaza for New Years Eve to be exceptionally good value, although I believe the redemption rates have risen. When I last looked I could buy and redeem points for less than $300 a night when the cash rate was $1800. Edit: Misquote

I do like the new 10am check in for non-Intercontinental IHG properties for Spire.

Renewed the wife's Ambassador today and Spire is now showing until 31 Dec 2019.
