Le Club AccorHotels has launched their Summer promotion for stays in Europe, Middle East, Africa, French Guyana and St. Martin.
Members can earn up to quadruple points (depending on the status – see below) for stays both booked and consumed between June 2 – September 2, 2018.
Our Fabulous Friday this week is about the very flexible Same Day Confirmed option United offers within 24 hours of the original bookings departure.
United displays the option to change the originally booked flight as soon as the online check-in opens and passengers can continuously modify their routing and also check back occasionally if better options become available.
Hilton Honors is making the current Double Points promotion (read more here) even better for those that carry one of the co-branded American Express credit cards issued in the United States.
Hilton Honors is offering triple points 10 base + 20 bonus that are in addition to the points that you earn by settling the hotel folio using Amex or any other card.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue has just released their June promotional awards for July 1 – August 31, 2018-travel.
The discount is usually from 20% to 50% off the usual number of miles required (although sometimes the discount is capped at 25%).
Marriott updated its and SPG Best Rate Guarantee terms and conditions last week to be identical (read more here) by combining the worst aspects from both programs and calling it “one of the best”.
I decided to (yet again) use the SPG’s Best Price Guarantee to see how the most recent T&Cs update has affected the processing time (should be less than 24 hours) and if they follow the new rules.
British Airways Executive Club members in the United States that redeemed miles between 2006 and 2013 can get up to 35,000 Avios or 16.9% of the cash they paid for the fuel surcharges back as a result of a class action settlement that the airline has reached with a court.
This must be the same case that we first wrote back in late 2013 (access here) when four frequent fliers had filed a case against BA claiming that the fuel surcharges that the airline was collecting had very little to do with the actual price of the oil.
Hilton Honors is about to launch their traditional Summer Weekends sale for stays in Europe, Middle East & Africa.
The offer is valid for stays between June 8 – October 8, 2018. The discount for Hilton Honors members is up to 25% off (15% off for non-members).
Since October last year American Express has partnered with Lufthansa at Munich (MUC) airport to allow Platinum and Centurion card holder to access the Lufthansa Lounges as part of their American Express Global Lounge Collection.
This partnership has now been extended and also expanded to Frankfurt Airport where Amex premium customers can now enjoy select Lufthansa facilities.
Emirates yesterday launched new “My Family” program that allows up to 8 members to pool their miles into one account while continuing to accrue tier miles.
Members can choose to pool all or percentage of the miles they earn to the family account and this can be changed at any time.
British Airways has launched 50% off economy reward flight sale that is valid for travel between September 1 – May 31, 2019, and must be booked by June 17.
The 50% off discount applies to both peak and off-peak Avios prices. You can also use Avios & Money but the money part is not discounted.
Etihad Airways is changing the number of Guest miles awards require effective June 30, 2018. The base mileage will stay as of now but the airline will introduce greater variability based on “when you book and fly” (whatever this might mean).
The award surcharges are not changing and this change only affects, per the email, economy and business class awards.
Le Club AccorHotels runs Private Sales in Europe, Australasia, Middle East, South America and Asia weekly unless there is a global Super or Private Sale going on.
Le Club AccorHotels revamped these Private Sale pages few months back and seems that content is gone from some while still available on others.
