    Should Marriott Bonvoy offer status only on spend?

    I think the credit promos where you get 10-15 nights credit really put the non US bonvoy member at a disadvantage. But I haven't heard of a credit that give platinum access yet, but I might be wrong. I get Hilton through Velocity, which I'm still preferring to use Bonvoy most of the time.

    Marriott comes to Canberra.

    I've stayed there a few times recently. I like the spot, the property and it very handy to the civic offices. It is the current preference for my CBR stays I'd recommended the restaurant for breakfast and meals, which is a surprise for me. I normally feel some hotel food options are overpriced...

    Upgrade with no notification - op-up?

    I've had a few upgrades on QF. Once from BNE-TSV but I got an email about 72 hours out asking if i'd want to upgrade with points. (Form letter). Ignored it. I got an upgrade anyway on a packed flight. I'd say it was oversold and hence the offer. I'm never taking those offers again now... But I...

    Voco Hotels

    Just had a one night stay. Would stay again. Good for both business & leisure stays. The common areas and lobby have all been upgraded but most of the rooms are the same. Today. I've been told by the desk that levels 17-23 refurbished rooms are available from mid-December. Half of my floor was...

    What's your 2018 annual travel insurance plan?

    A bit of a left field note but... I'm motorcycle riding various countries and finding some interesting points between policies. Having a full Australian motorcycle license and if required an International Driving Permit (IDP) might not cover you if: 1. The country you are in doesn't recognise...
