I love resurrecting an old thread.
So I used most of my remaining points to book two rooms for Granny Froggee and her lapsed nun pal in Singapore pre Grand Prix. Not a bad redemption at all at close to 0.6p per point with the added benefit that the lapsed nun is on a budget and therefore it can be presented as a legitimate freebie.
The hotel is aware that I will not be staying but have still extended free breakfast to both of them.
I think that may well be the end of my dalliance with IHG. They have actually had a few cash bookings out of me that they would not otherwise have had so they probably haven’t done too badly out of the diamond status.
Ironically I have pretty much failed to use the final oh-so-hard-fought-for free night voucher so Mrs Froggee and I will be popping by the George for a post dinner cup of tea next week (yay £15 Ambassador credit) and then seeing if breakfast is an acceptable standard the next morning. With hindsight I should have saved £160 on a day room at the Crowne Plaza Changi but thought it would be handy for the Intercontinental Park Lane when my buddy was in town. My buddy promptly had a travel freeze placed on his department until 2025.
Sad face.
Anyway.
In loving memory of the Creation IHG One Rewards Premium credit card.
Rest in peace
