The Westin Laungamar Ocean Resort Villas in Cancun, Mexico, has some excellent deals available, with rooms starting at just 129 MXN, or 147 MXN all-in (that’s under $11USD) per night. It’s probably just a really good Cyber Monday deal, so…

Through May 23, 2018, World of Hyatt is offering up to a 40% bonus on purchased points. This promotion is publicly available, meaning that all members should be eligible for the same offer. With this promotion you can receive a 30% bonus if you buy 5,000-9,000…
Nowadays there aren't many loyalty programs that offer new members significant welcome bonuses, even in conjunction with qualifying activity. That's why this promotion is pretty noteworthy. New Marriott Rewards members can earn a free night certificate…
In mid-February I first wrote about how Daily Getaways will be returning this year. For those of you not familiar, Daily Getaways is a promotion, sponsored by the US Travel Association, which has been offered annually since 2011 to encourage US tourism.…

As Marriott and SPG continue sharing details on their very complicated mid-year transition, one of the main questions has been which properties will be falling into which categories on the new combined award chart. Today, Marriott has released a preview…

For me in English or German the link says my A-Club points will be automatically transferred to my Flying Blue account and doesn’t mention anything about Platinum although the URL has tast track in it. Since I don;t have a Flying Blue Account and have some existing A-Club points, I did not register
Works for me although I will most likely not benefit from it at all. 😀
Instant PLT.
Anyone know the minimum points needed to transfer to airlines? Thanks to the OP for this – I don’t stay very often but we all love status!
Thanks! This might be useful one day at a Sofitel. Received the Plat confirmation e-mail after about 5 minutes!
OK I did it and then went and changed my profile to earn Delta miles instead of Flying Blue. UA wasn’t a choice. Transfers at 4000 points in answer to Biblioman
Do you know if other hotels match status?
@John: Club Carlson does status matches.
@ John — Priority Club or Club Carlson may match you, though that’s about it.
Hi,now that we are platinum can you publish some stategies with this chain for us European travelers , not much info out there.
I did this yesterday. Wasn’t sure what the whole ‘transfer points to FlyingBlue” deal was, but since I have no points in either it or a|club, I went ahead. My status was instantly upgraded to Platinum. 🙂
Worked for me, thanks! I had a measly 136 points in my account, but after registering and getting Platinum, I had 0 points. Oh well. Platinum > 136 points. 🙂
Does anyone know how long the Platinum status will last?
Works!! Gotta love Platinum status! I laughed when I got the email saying we appreciate your loyalty–I have never stayed in an Accor hotel to my knowledge, in my life! I hadn’t ever signed up for A Club but did, closed out of the broswer and went to Ben’s link–Instant Success!
A-Club is a joke. Period.
