Many people like to travel, but they usually can’t find best rate in hotel! Bad luck! The best way how to get your destination is planing with agency, even with high cost but you are serve fully

I had written a reply stating the Cash & Points awards for Category 1 and 2 hotels were limited to hotels in Asia-Pacific region and I went to SPG to add a link to the C&P table.

I see SPG has just changed the Cash & Points table adding Category 1 and 2 hotels in the US and Canada. Last week and for the past couple years SPG C&P awards were only allowed for Category 1 and 2 hotels in Asia Pacific.

So now there will be significantly more opportunities for SPG members to receive great value from C&P awards at Category 1 and 2 hotels in the US, Canada, and Asia-Pacific region.

well doneRic, always enjoy what you written. keep up with the good job.

by the way, why you say “I find these awards to be the best value of my SPG points when staying at hotels rated Category 3 and higher”

I think it is also not bad for Category 1 & 2.

Booking hotels couldn’t be easier. Once you have compared rates and found the cheapest price simply click through to the travel company and book it on their own site.
