Priority Club update….

As I posted about a couple of days ago, Priority Club decided to pull 80,000 points from my account for a stay that was already paid for. Well, as expected they returned my call today and apparently the IC Paris says that the stay was never paid for. They say that the IC Paris called up corporate [...]

Awful Priority Club customer service!

OK, so maybe the actual customer service (or at least customer interaction) isn’t bad yet, but I’m angry. Back in June I had a fantastic stay at the InterContinental LeGrand Paris on points, which someone else booked for me with their points, adding my name to the reservation and noting that I would be the [...]

Priority Club releases new Point Breaks list!

Priority Club just released their new Point Breaks list good through November 30, 2008. For those not familiar with Point Breaks, it’s where stays are only 5,000 points a night at certain properties, compared to anywhere between 15,000 and 40,000. That can be up to eight nights for the price of one!
While the list has deteriorated [...]

Review of the InterContinental Chicago

As I posted about last month, I took a trip to Chicago this past weekend. I’ll have a separate post with a mini trip report, but I’ll stick to a review of the InterContinental Chicago for this post.
Just to provide some background, hotelclub.com comped one night for me. I had booked a Historic Tower King room [...]

Dumping Paris Hilton for the weekend…

As I posted about a few days ago, I’ll have the opportunity to be on the inaugural OpenSkies flight, and will be spending two nights in Paris. I was struggling with hotel choices, since I reserved the Paris Hilton with points, but the hotel doesn’t look that great and they only had a “single room” [...]
