A very disappointing list yet again.


I'm afraid PB's are just about dead as a concept.

And most of the whiners on FT don't understand the PB concept, or anything about marketing or how a business actually makes money. Ooops, I think i just whined. :shock:

Considering you can get 5000 points for $30, its not surprising, last year it took a little bit of convincing by me to an overseas supplier that he really should be buying 15K of points and booking the IC Perth, at $80 a night his finance department soon worked out what the point purchase was for.

Michael,

You are normally very astute with these and quick to post but on this occasion I really hope you are wrong :!: (though I think you are right) :evil:

Thanks Bill. It's a marketer's axiom that you move on to a new concept, whether the old one worked or not. It justifies their existence.

Yeah, people just don't realise what PB is for, and just don't want to accept that it is the "Bargain Bin" (I love that term!) of hotels. Unfortunately PC put themselves in this situation when they had a huge PB "sale" a couple of years ago, and also late last year when they mistakenly added more hotels than what they published. People now expect every list to contain "great" hotels.

Also being able to earn 5000 points really easily even with one night's stay doesn't help either...

I'm not sure the concept is dead, but as the list is "stalked" and the best properties cherry picked and gone within 36 hours, it can't be succeeding as any other tool than a gift to FT'ers and similar people.

I wouldn't necessarily expect "great" hotels although a little variety with limited availability could also work.

Re: New Pointsbreak list to February 28, 2011

Not much to choose from in Australia. Or even Asia for that matter.

Looks like may book a night at Crowne Plaza Pelican Waters for early February.

Hmm, AFF golf day after the FT AGM at CP Pelican Waters could be the go.

It would be a good time to hold it although I am an early scratching already.

Unfortunately Saturday 19 February is the second round of the Fourball championships at my home golf club in Sydney.
 
new list is up and valid until April 30 so the inconsistency continues, sadly no Oceania properties at all:

No problems, if as we get closer to the end of crack the case I might be in the position to shout you a night at an indigo and HIX each to help me crack the 5 brands ;), stupid promo when you only have three brands in Australia and most of Asia.

If Flash plays his cards right he might get a few nights at such hotels!

Always happy to help out fellow AFFers, and if it just happens to be somewhere outside of LON... wouldn't that be a shame ;-)
