Quick update on this for anyone interested; Just bought the domain and working on setting up the blog now. It's called "Shredded Suits" :lol:, will be posting lots of tips on eating out, nutrition habits, training when travelling and similar content. Working on some content and first few...

Wow thanks for all the great additions to the post guys! Totally overlooked SPG lifetime gold/platinum benefits. noob question .. anybody know how to edit an old/original post? I seem to have been locked out from editing it after this amount of time :lol:

I do agree, the pros/cons of the loyalty perks vs potentially higher costs and less convenient locations may need to be weighed up! Pleasure! A bit specific to my needs perhaps, but hopefully it helps anybody who is considering the same programs as I was :) I'll add in the Plat Charge Card...

Thanks! It's great to see some really positive feedback about the Accor group as I've pretty much decided on them as my main hotel chain. I will mostly be staying in Sydney, so the Sofitel and Pullmans there are great.

Thanks M@rcoPolo! I read through most of the LoyaltyLobby articles, I love the pro and con lists of all the hotel chains. From my understanding and further research it would seem Accor tends to offer better loyalty perks (if they recognise your status), but IHG offers better value for points...

Great thread. It is an unfortunate thing, with busy lifestyles most give up any healthy habits and exercise. I'm actually a (soon to be ex) competitive natural bodybuilder and studied deeply into nutrition and training habits. I'll be starting as a consultant this year and it's my personal...

My dream thread! Massive fitness junkie here. Seems like the Hiltons tend to have a good gym set up across Aus. Would anybody have any recommendations as to which Sydney hotels have the best gym? (90% of my travel will be to SYD) I've tried the Intercontinental Sydney's before and it was...

Definitely do have a headache haha! My hotel decision changes almost daily, there seems to be something new everyday that sways me towards one program or the other. May be a bit misleading on my flights, 90% of my flights are on QFF as work gives us Qantas Club membership, which is nice to...

Thanks NZflygirl! Definitely does take a bit of time, but hopefully it makes the stays more enjoyable and hopefully the summary helps a few people save some time! I think I'm getting closer to a decision ... Head saying Accor, Heart saying SPG :rolleyes: Thanks! That sounds like a good idea...

Good point! I will edit the original post with an additional section on credit cards/other cards that may help obtain elite status. I have no idea why, but for some irrational reason, I also find myself drawn to try out the IHG group over LeClub .. I did enjoy my stay at the Intercon Sydney...

Thanks for the welcomes everyone :)

Great to see that the Accor group seems to have lifted their game lately! This post may have locked in LeClub as my program of choice over IHG Rewards ... Just out of interest, anybody an elite member of both and have any thoughts on how they compare in terms of quality of hotels, recognition...

Definitely the case for me too, unfortunately Hilton doesn't seem to have much of a presence in Sydney and the Hilton Sydney can get wildly expensive depending on dates. I do like the Hhonors program though. Leaning towards SPG personally, due to better range of hotels in the cities I travel...

Hi Everyone, I've been doing a ton of research into Hotel Loyalty Programs as I try to pick the one that suits me the best. Thought I'd post up my summary of the programs I'm studying at present and hopefully it can benefit others. Please note, this was done by a FF Newbie, so please correct...

Hi Everyone, Long time reader of this and other loyalty program content. Just about to begin work as a Consultant, so looking forward to travelling a ton and trying to make the most out of it! Thanks for all the great info posted on here, I spend far too much time browsing the forums and...
