  I’ve just been told that the Ibiza resort is incredible. Problem is I can only buy 71,500 points per calendar year. Anyone know a way around that? Can my kids buy points?!

    get your wife/husband/partner to register.

      Note that you CAN transfer points from one person to another for free BUT only if both Hyatt accounts have had a stay in the past 12 months. Assuming that’s not the case for you, you’d need to buy just enough points per account to book 1 or 2 nights, and do the bookings back to back.

      I’m also not sure if there are restrictions on brand new accounts buying points. Sometimes you have to wait a few weeks.

        You can transfer. There are no restrictions regarding past stays. You only need to have an active account, but the moment you buy points it’s considered an active account. I’ve done it with my partner and I have no past stays at all.

  For the definitive list, go to Locations at the top of the Wyndham rewards website and filter for country there. That gives 68 hotels at the moment, 38 Days Inn, 26 Ramadas, 2 Trademark Collection (these are fairly new and I didn’t know about them until looking this up!) and 2 Wyndhams (ditto).

    Thanks Vasco. Will tidy this up now.

  90k for the Conrad in Sardinia, or about 800-900 EUR in the summer, for flex. Seems pretty good?

  • Rob says:

    Yes, can’t argue with that given our 0.33p valuation of a Hilton point.

  When i searched, 7 pines Sardinia is only showing point redemption rate of 60k or a few other options including 15k + more than 600 euros a night for dates in late Jul to Nov. They claim room from 30k but didn’t see a room bookable at that rate though. 🤫

  Best thing about Wyndham is ability to status match from IHG Platinum/Spire to their top tier which then also gets you Caesars Diamond.

  If you’re going to Vegas that gets you upgrades, free valet parking, queue jump for restaurants/bars etc.

    & best of all, no resort/amenity fees.

    I thought Wyndham has suspended status match since covid already.

  the airline “suffered for its inconsistent service standards, low aircraft utilisation, dismal on-time performance, antiquated productivity norms, lack of revenue generation skills and unsatisfactory public perception”……… so Cruz will slot into this role perfectly then. An acceptable reason not to fly Air India!

    Can’t see that he’s owt to do then?

  You quote ‘ suffered for its inconsistent service standards, low aircraft utilisation, dismal on-time performance, antiquated productivity norms, lack of revenue generation skills and unsatisfactory public perception’
  Is that exactly what Cruz has done to every airline he has midrun?
  Indian due diligence can’t be any good.
  Poor old Air India has trouble enough without having inept Cruz as well!

    Lol

  I want Cruz to get it. Fir once an airline will completely destroy him as the professional he is not.
  Every brand he touched, from Goldcar, Vueling to BA just got destroyed. I mean is this the corporate world now. A guy that just reduces brands to low cost non competing bottom of the pile.
