Accor promises no devaluations in new ALL scheme, Accor Plus to stay
Mar 30, 2019, 02:48 PMI've got Silver Status through AMEX but find the whole Accor program just so confusing to the point of being put off staying in their hotels. Same as with IHG which also is very confushing with too many levels. Hilton Group is much clearer but not perfect with regard to status benefits at each ...

USA lengthens ESTA processing times: no more instant approvals
Dec 18, 2018, 07:35 AMworth saying, but there are a tremendous number of fake sites that look like the real thing. You won't know until the end when they ask you for +$75 (not $14). So take care!

Nov 03, 2018, 09:57 AMI’ve done a recent trip out of Seattle via Vancouur to Sydney with Qantas which was over $1,000 cheaper than going via LAX. And I took a cbd to cbd sea plane from Seattle to Vancouver which was also just magic! I paid my bag as a passenger and it was still cheap.

Get up to 40% bonus Velocity Points in this month's transfer promotion
May 01, 2018, 11:25 AMJust checked this, 100,000 Hilton points gives 15,000 Virgin points.

I would imagine that the pool of Hilton guests with over 5 Million points is very very small!

Should you tip the staff in US airport lounges?
Jan 10, 2018, 10:36 AMI never tip anyone in America. If they want high wages, they should move to North Dakota, Ohio or Texas and get a job Fracking for oil where the wages are huge for people with basic secondary education. Life is all about choices. It's not my fault people decide to get a cushy warm job in an air...
