Here are three more short pieces as I try to clear my inbox (again): British Airways to return to Birmingham (a teeny tiny bit) (EDIT, March 2015: There is still confirmation that this story is true and it may not be happening) According to press […]
In December I told you that Hilton had been dropping hints that ‘Lifetime Diamond’ status would soon be available. Hyatt, Marriott and Starwood already have lifetime status schemes of their own so it was not surprising that Hilton chose to follow. The scheme has now […]
Hyatt Gold Passport has taken a leaf out of the Marriott Rewards book and is running a number of different promotions for the January to April period. They are generally underwhelming. In my case, the target is totally stupid. Under the title ‘Stay More, Play More’, […]
Hilton HHonors has confirmed that it will be offering lifetime Diamond status to members from 2015. The criteria have not yet been revealed but are likely to require such a high threshold that you would wonder why such a person would ever want to set […]
I recently wrote about how Marriott will be offering free internet to members of Marriott Rewards who book direct from January 15th. Hyatt and Starwood, owner of the Sheraton, W, Westin, St Regis, Luxury Collection and aloft brands, have both decided that they likes this idea and are […]
Hyatt Gold Passport announced a few changes last week, none of them life-changing on their own but worth summarising. There is also an interesting deal to effectively buy Hyatt Platinum status for $149. Award chart changes for 2015 announced Hyatt has published this list on their website of […]

Hyatt has launched its annual sale on Hyatt-branded gift cards. You can save 10% on any purchase. The good news for UK residents is that Hyatt is now offering electronic gift certificates. These will be emailed to you and so there is no expense for […]
Hyatt Gold Passport has launched a generous offer of 1,000 bonus points for every stay booked via their new mobile app or on their mobile website. Whilst not as generous as the current 3,000 bonus points (about £15 of value) that Club Carlson is giving […]

The three participating hotels are: Hyatt Regency Birmingham (restaurant and spa) Hyatt Regency London, Churchill (restaurant) Andaz London (restaurant) Participating hotels in other […]
This is your final reminder that July 13th is the last day to instigate a transfer of hotel loyalty points to British Airways Executive Club in order to receive a 25% Avios bonus. The promotion is not mentioned on ba.com. The link in the BA […]
Until 13th July, British Airways is offering a 25% bonus if you transfer hotel points from six major loyalty schemes into Avios. Since most of the hotel programmes allow you to buy points – and often have special offers – I thought it would be […]
It’s back, on the fairly regular ‘every nine months’ timetable. I’m talking about the ‘25% bonus when you transfer your hotel points to British Airways Avios‘ promotion! The promotion is not yet live on ba.com. The link in the email sends you to this page which does […]
