No of Nights Members Stay in a Year

[QF WP]

F&F shouldn't but sometimes they are incorrectly keyed in and you get them but don't expect, rather it's a bonus). PP ones do count, so with 25% off (for example) then the annual fee can be easily saved in 2 nights of PP rates.

Thread can be found here - see post #1 for the link. Steve Sickel has many friends and it's all legit. I always carry the print out in case they ask me for it - only IC Perth has ever asked.

I thought the F&F's rate didn't earn PC points?

Is there some code you need to enter to get these rates?

At 5000 points for $30 USD is not hard to work out if its worth the points!

Some high numbers from some AFF members.

I thought I would check through my numbers for 2010, I thought it would be around 40-50 but was surprised that it was as high as it is, I guess I did fly 100,000 kms last year.

65 nights away.
19 Hilton Nights, no not all on my account, although I did make Hilton Gold, with the help of a fasttrack program thanks Serfty.
10 Holiday Inn(Priority Club, chain) 3 were point stays.
10 with relatives+friends overseas cuts down the expenses.
6 on a Qantas plane, overnight flights in economy.
** Balance random, Singapore, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Perth. (Amsterdam and Perth were recommended by the trade show organisers.
Singapore in 2010 accommodation cost me $421 AUD this year the bill was $878.00 all to try and keep my Hilton status going.

That's it Bundy Bear. Status once reached must be maintained. At what cost...?

Any updates on stay/night numbers. I will add 3 nights next week.

I am looking at around 200 in ICHG properties, 5 or so in Accor and maybe even 5 or so in Hiltons, all domestic although there is a couple of OS trips at the end of the year. PC seems to think I stayed in the UK for two nights to hit the 5 ICHG brands for crack the case, I must have forgotten that trip .

markis10, I seem to have the same problem with PC - it's like the three bears story (somebody has been sleeping in my bed). Someone even drank from my minibars on one stay

If only I could find the miscreant(s) and thank them!

I've got 59 nights this year for Priority Club (all at the one hotel! :shock; basically no Platinum benefits offered but the staff there were generally fairly nice (the bar staff in particular )

Kinda kicking myself for not reading the details for the current 2x points promotion and checking out / checking back in after one night. So many bonus points squandered..

Console yourself with the fact that it may not have helped, and could have still been counted as one stay.

I've averaged 80-90 nights away a year for about the last 4 years, and around 75 of those would have been in Priority Club hotels, the majority being IC's. I've also referred 2 AFF members to RA staus and a third who resides over at FT. But it is all coming to an end as we plan less travel from next year. What we do will also be more "strategic" - cruises, apartment stays etc Consequently, my RA staus will become history in the middle of next year and, with no purpose in pursuing it again, I am now using up some of the accumulated zillions of PC points. As mine have all been self-funded, the bank balance is happily breathing a sigh of relief!
