  The duck parade is not at Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans, but the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee which I believe you also have a review of in this series.

    Doh! Sorry, I wrote that from memory which was clearly a big mistake 🙂 Sorry.

  Re: IHG, is there any indication as to when the Mr & Mrs Smith Hotels can be booked with IHG points? That would then influence if I buy extra points. The initial plan was for ‘early 2020’ which has passed but clearly a lot has changed since then!

    Don’t buy points if you’re holding out for Mr&Mrs Smith points redemptions. Buy points only if you have an immediate need for them.

      Guarantee there won’t be any arbitrage opportunities with them.

    IHG website just said “coming soon” the other night, both for cash and points bookings.

  Has anyone else noticed that IHG Rewards Catalogue, where you can redeem points for gifts, has been reduced significantly?

  You used to be able to redeem for iPads, laptops and other high value items, this has been reduced to items under 20,000 points, which barely covers a charging cable let alone a new iPad!

  Is IHG worried about loosing money out the back door with these rewards? I guess with people traveling less, there has been a higher than normal demand on these items? Or worse, there is a sharp devaluation coming soon.

    The catalogue was poor value, apart from IHG gift cards, so I doubt they could devalue to a position where it was good value!

    What I imagine is that people who don’t see themselves doing any hotel stays for a while are cashing out for stuff that costs IHG real money.
