  If you have5 reward nights booked in a row, would you need to charge something totheroo each day?

  • Mark1980 says:

    2 Feb2 February 08:51

    *to the room. Lord knows what you autocorrect was thinking there

    • Rob says:

      2 Feb2 February 08:53

      No. You simply need to have something which triggers base points. This is an IT issue I think – if you have zero spend, the system does not award any base points and so the trigger to award the bonus is not there.

      • mark1980 says:

        2 Feb2 February 11:18

        Yes sorry Rob I should have been more clearer, I realise it can be any kind of incidental spend but presume I would need to spend something each night to receive the 2000 points for each night?

        • Genghis says:

          2 Feb2 February 12:53

          Not my reading of it

        • Rob says:

          2 Feb2 February 16:22

          No. Just once so total bill has £1 on it.

        • Alan says:

          2 Feb2 February 17:28

          No – as Rob says you just have to trigger base points on the stay. It’s irrelevant when during the stay you make the charge, just as long as something is triggered that will then make their IT award the bonus points – when awarding points it will then just look at how long your stay was to work out how many multiples of 2k you are due.

  Completely OT sorry. I’ve got a Lloyds upgrade voucher and I want to book a BA redemption flight for family of 4 with 2 in CE (using the voucher) and 2 in ET. Complication is that I want my wife and 1 child to have the CE seats but the voucher is in my name. Is this possible? Thanks.

  • Simon says:

    2 Feb2 February 09:10

    why not just book In your name and let them sit in the seats on the day

  • Czechoslovakia says:

    2 Feb2 February 09:13

    Book it and just swap seats on the plane, informing the crew, obviously. Done this before in the same situation. Seems a bit of a waste of the voucher though. CE ain’t that different to ET.

  • Wally1976 says:

    2 Feb2 February 09:30

    Thanks Simon and Czech; wasn’t sure if this was allowed or not. Yes I realised CE isn’t a great use of the voucher but there’s zero chance of us flying long haul in the next few years!

    • Tom H says:

      2 Feb2 February 12:46

      You actually use the voucher for any one, I have used mine for my wife and child for Canada, when I m not flying

• David Lindstrom says:

  2 Feb2 February 10:52

  Does this apply even if the nights was booked before registering or do you have to register before booking?

  • Chris says:

    2 Feb2 February 13:14

    Yes, as long as you are registered before checking in.

  • Alan says:

    2 Feb2 February 17:30

    As long as you’ve registered before check-out you’ll be fine – see first line of the T&Cs! “Offer valid February 1, 2017, through April 30, 2017 (“Promotion Period”) at any hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio. Hilton Honors™ members must first register at HiltonHonors.com/BonusPromotion **prior to completing a stay** within the Promotion Period” (emphasis mine)

      Perfect, thanks a lot!

  An incidental spend on a reward night at a Hampton doesn’t appear to get base points – does anyone know of a way to participate in this offer when staying at a Hampton please?

  • Anon says:

    2 Feb2 February 12:51

    My 10k HH pts reward stay at a Hampton in FL, US qualified for the 5k Visa bonus.

    2x $1 bags of peanuts from the reception larder did the trick.

    10000-(5000+250)=4750/night

    Pretty good value for a $114 room 🙂

  Rob are Hilton including ‘Points and Money’ bookings too? I noticed these weren’t mentioned. By default that would include a cost each night anyway so I presume I wouldn’t need to pay for anything from the minibar. As a Diamond this will stack incredibly well for me in Tallinn in 2 weeks.

  • Chris says:

    2 Feb2 February 13:20

    Points and Money bookings are classed as Reward stays. Under the old rules, you don’t get Base points for Points and Money stays. Under the new rules , the new Points and Money rates, supposedly starting at the end of February, will grant Base points for the Money part. In your case, in 2 weeks, to be on the safe side, I would definitely charge some incidentals to the room.

  • Rob says:

    2 Feb2 February 16:21

    Tricky. Currently the money bit of P&M does not earn points so you’d need to make a charge.

    After 1 March, the new style P&M bookings WILL earn so no incidental charge necessary.

    • Oli C says:

      Great at least we’re clear, Mars bar it is! Thanks Chris and Rob 🙂

  Slighty OT – my Hilton points are expiring in 2 months and ideally I won’t have to do a mattress run to keep them. Applied for the Hilton VISA some time ago and was rejected, no idea why as I have the IHG card from Creation as well (possibly too many?).

  What’s the best way to re-activate the clock on these points, is there a method without staying at one?

  • mark2 says:

    2 Feb2 February 12:20

    probably buying 1000 points but check on the web site.

    • Trev says:

      2 Feb2 February 12:49

      Or transfer points from somewhere else (e.g. Amex Membership Rewards points)

  • Anon says:

    2 Feb2 February 12:53

    AMEX MR transfer, min is 250 ==> 500 HH

  Just had Email from Virgin flying club 10% bonus from Tesco Clubcard to flying club Transfers

  Dear Lee,
  Take the plunge and start earning miles with your weekly shop. Convert your Tesco Clubcard points into Flying Club miles from 1 February to 15 March 2017 and earn an extra 10% bonus^ on the points that you transferred.

  Why not make it really easy and sign up to Auto Convert? It automatically turns all your future Tesco Clubcard points into Flying Club miles, so you can sit back and watch your miles balance soar. See how quickly your trip down the shopping aisles can turn into your next trip to magical foreign shores.

  • Genghis says:

    2 Feb2 February 13:22

    My miles balance this quarter certainly wouldn’t be soaring! Certainly a lack of opportunity.
    And 10% bonus? If you need the miles then fair enough but wouldn’t persuade me to convert.

    • Yuff says:

      2 Feb2 February 14:51

      Nor me 🙁

    • Kathy says:

      2 Feb2 February 15:13

      Better than the competition BA are offering though. I really could have done with a 10% bonus to Avios this quarter!

• mark1980 says:

  2 Feb2 February 14:10

  OT but any idea how long IHG Accelerate pointsw take to post after hitting all of your targets? Thanks.

  • Genghis says:

    2 Feb2 February 15:45

    As a reference point I had a stay 20 Jan and the relevant points posted yesterday. But IIRC T&Cs say allow 8 weeks.

  • Nick Burch says:

    2 Feb2 February 23:05

    My IHG Accelerate dashboard is still showing as no stays / no points earned, but my IHG account is showing the bonus points from one of my challenges from a stay in mid January! Oddly not the January stay bonus, a different one… IHG IT on top form as ever!
