Data Point. Submitted match claim on Wednesday 2nd. Just received confirmation matching IHG platinum Ambassador to Diamond. Not sure if it greased the wheels at all but I had booked 9 nights at Hilton Hawaiian Village in between submitting and receiving the match. And now they'll get another...

I'm not aware of any special offers by signing up at the hotel versus online. Plus you possibly won't get the ambassador benefits on that stay (free movie, welcome gift, one category room upgrade) - especially if the category of room above the one booked is not available. So imo I'd be...

Saw on Ausbt that the SFO flights have gone on sale. Checked Expert Flyer to see good availability of U class seats on many days in March. So booked a speculative return trip around Easter next year. Good opportunity for people to pick up seats less than 355 days out. Didn't check other dates yet.

so if you are platinum when you join DR one of their major selling points is lost (a status bump). further diluting the value. they rang me constantly for 2 months after my March expiry. i said i'd pay $199.00 and not a cent more (they were offering $249). needless to say we didn't come to terms.

re: HSBC Platinum Qantas Visacard "Benefits that will change" I'll be aiming for a fee waiver before cancelling but otherwise it's gone. And if so I'll just use it for the direct debits up to 2500 each month and leave the card on my desk at home.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Attaching screenshot here from ITA matrix app (hope this works) There are plenty of options that avoid this conundrum (via DFW as suggested above) but I'm now just kind of interested in the answer as to how it would be treated. Thanks for...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Hoping for some help from the brains trust here. Need to go SEA-STL and have found a run for approx 2.5 usd/SC as follows -SEA-PHX-ORD-STL- which is decent given I have to fly between that city pair. However just noticed that the SEA-PHX and...

Totally uninSPIREd (rim shot) by the lack of additional benefits. Feeling better about moving my stays away from IHG for now. Just got to burn up my remaining points and use my final Ambassador BOGO and I'll be done.

Downloaded for iPhone 6 Second the calls for the return of the participated function in the sidebar. Any chance we can have a clearer demarcation between the stickied posts and the new topics? I see the pushpin icon but I think it could be clearer. I'm not seeing any function that...

I believe in your specific situation the ability to change to an earlier flight will depend on availability of a U class (J redemption seat) on the earlier flight. I have previously moved flights by turning up earlier and have also been denied (with reason being there were no U class despite...

I've shifted all my stays to Hyatt and Hilton after repeatedly getting disappointing promotions and benefit recognition with IHG. But having the 4th IHG brand open in Australia could be good for some of those promos. Although I'm probably going to have to wait 3 or 4 promotion cycles before I...

I had two reward stays and both times rebate points arrived at the 1 month mark exactly. So you'll probably need to raise a claim for the April stays and possibly the May ones as well.

Property: Intercontinental Melbourne Rialto Status: Platinum Royal Ambassador When: April 2014 Booked: Base Deluxe Room on my last PP 2 for 1 Received: Junior Suite. Overall a middling stay - I think the hotel is lovely but we got off to a bad start. Arrived at 1:00pm - room was not ready due...

Can only confirm that I had a similar offer and it was always 3 nights for me - but I did not register straight away so it could possibly be the case that the terms were not complete and correct on launch - wouldn't be the first time IHG has had unclear or incomplete T&C's. I'm sure because it...

If you want to stay at an IC - then Ambassador is probably better. Because you should get a guaranteed upgrade, up to 4pm checkout, a free movie plus the ambassador certificate which is a free weekend night when you pay for the first. Now the dining program is a standalone free night plus...

Hmmn - obviously need to up my red meat intake and work on my grip strength - I didn't want to be the guy to break it.

Managed to hitch a ride on VH-EBV on a SYD-MEL run on Easter Saturday. The config had been showing as new for about 6 weeks - and I was surprised when it held all the way. I was pretty impressed with the seat - 2A - picked because I wanted to have the console on the aisle side. Some specific...

Add a second endorsement for the AA 77W. Flew it last year (JFK-LHR) and it was a top notch seat. Didn't fly with a companion but I imagine you would be best picking a window seat and the aisle across from it (1-2-1 config) it's not directly matched up obviously. but to my mind much...

In my experience (and i have been a customer for over 12 years and in that time probably hired 20 different units) they run a couple of different promotions. Usually get the first month free or a % discount for 6 months and they also have a refer a friend for $100 off your storage promotion...

I certainly hope you get your points samh004. I am not a lawyer but I certainly do not think the leg they have chosen to stand on is a good one. My situation is a bit different because I already had 4 units at an SK facility. 3 longstanding rentals and 1 which had been opened in Janaury just...
