It is either the HGI or maybe they are looking for a existing hotel and make it a Doubletree, who knows.

Admittedly no update on the HGI Spring Hill in any article... unless someone else is there to check the construction site out.

https://loyaltylobby.com/2025/02/17/accor-plus-additional-10-bonus-nights-total-30-for-renewals-expiry-unclear/ Not sure if this was ever a feature yet - I know there was the 20 nights for being an A+ member at a point in time + 20 nights at renewal in 2023, but never heard of 10 extra nights...

Seconded - The Hilton Surfers Paradise gift cards should still work.

Indeed the most lucrative promo Marriott offers. The difference is now Marriott Homes and Villas paid stays is now eligible for this promo. I dont think this was the case in recent years. Useful if you want to stay somewhere around regional areas in Australia and want to get Marriott nights...

Confirmed that the downgrade to the $95 Marriott Amex card still works for both the Bevy and the Brilliant. 35k FNA each year with no spend requirement the main benefit.

Transferred points after I got the email that I registered, will see how long it takes. From the T&Cs it appears that it takes up to the usual 8 weeks after the offer period.

Approaching month 12 of the Marriott Bevy and seeing if the base Marriott Bonvoy card would still be an option. I will see how it goes. I'm okay with the 35k night certificate with no spend requirement as you could use it at a Westin/Marriott/Sheraton here in Australia. $95 annual fee too, not...

Didn't get an email on the targeted Delta Status match - confirmed that I am not eligible by the points site.

Some US folk put all their spend on the Hilton cards from 2020-2023 when every eligible transaction counted towards the lifetime base points requirement :p. Even all of the 14x on the Hilton Aspire for Hilton transactions counted. Now gone.

Worked on the computer browser. Basically you will need to be logged into both Amazon and Doordash. Amazon directs you to the login and if successful there is a clickthrough to Doordash.

Sometimes you get an email notification about the automatic upgrades, sometimes it doesn't. You can also ask in the app and they will usually find a way to upgrade you to a room 2+ levels above what you booked if it is available. That's the better bet. Obviously lesser chance of working in...

It is in a very good location, just stayed there. Minutes from the beach. Has a pool on the first level. Saturday nights hit different around the Eastern Suburbs.

Only U so far, would also note that the description was 'CLASSIC FLIGHT REWARD' instead of 'BUSINESS CLASSIC REWARD' like it is supposed to be.

I have also been hit with the same issue with the domestic U flights earning no status credits recently. I raised it to the frequent flyer team and they acknowledged an issue with the Points Club linkage. Yes, they acknowledge that we are supposed to earn status credits as PC members. I think...

No sign of the new HGI Spring Hill opening yet in case a backup was needed, it was slated for late 2024 but maybe it got pushed back a bit. Any recent updates?

Wow not a bad idea when we are dining with 4 people then at an Accor restaurant! This little known feature :P

The Motley Hotel in Richmond added to the Tapestry collection. 18 minute walk to the MCG which is where I can see it filled up for events. https://stories.hilton.com/apac/releases/tapestry-collection-by-hilton-to-debut-in-australia

Club Jetstar Flex (i.e. the old Max) would sound too good to be true, noting that it is a $119 increase to the membership.

Btw, do IHG non-refundable bookings eventually get charged a few days after the reservation gets confirmed? Or should I call the hotel to charge the room rate right away? A few days to go before it expires.
