On New Years Day I ran an open forum where you could post suggestions for ways of improving Head for Points. I am grateful to everyone who took the time to comment or send me an email, especially those people who said they liked everything just […]
I don’t write about Thistle Hotels much on Head for Points. They did have an American Express cashback offer last year which I covered, and one HFP reader contacted me afterwards to say how impressed he had been with the hotels he visited. The bottom […]
