2. IHG murders its loyalty program.

The former worlds largest loyalty programme formerly known as IHG Priority Club then IHG Rewards Club and recently IHG Rewards rolled out this month with some shocking discoveries with no notice from them at all.

Firstly we broke the sad sad news last year January that IHG had killed off its Pointbreaks, for years Pointbreaks was our go-to escape, always it had
a few top end hotels for just 5000 points per night, every quarter, that I still rate as the best valued and unrivaled promotion in travel history.

There were also soo many ways to get ones hands on 5000 points,

• buy them at the regular rates from IHG
• buy them on a sale with a bonus percentage.
• manufacture them at less than what the sales sell them, aha.
• buy them for even less than the above once per year at Daily Getaways.
• Then, lastly, earn the points all free by booking a stay and
  utilising promos to stack them silllllllly.

IHG then gave notice to have dynamic award pricing sometime last year, my favourite IHG redemption in Maldives dropped to 25,000 points per night. That same property can now go for a staggering 55,000 points per night after IHG’s 1st of April Massacre of their loyalty award programme.

You may check your favourite properties devaluation on website or app.

Couple this with their current buy points promo that many had fallen a victim to, only to wake up in this new month at -30% lost in value, blend this with still no free breakfasts for elites and a drop in Ambassador perks now puts this chain at the bottom of the lot.

3. Etihad retires their A380’s. ouch

Yes, all 10 of their A380’s will no longer fly. That’s not even Au revoir but a permanent goodbye to The Residence, a 3 room private piece of real estate in the sky and as well goodbye to the amazing 1st Class Apartments.

CEO Mr. Tony Douglas said: “We have now taken the strategic decision to park the A380s, I’m sure it’s very likely that we won’t see them operating with Etihad again.”

We had the privilege of flying the Apartments on numerous occasions without the high cash price tag.

R1023 to New York

R250 to India

R266 to London

Australia also offered a great redemption but was never on our list of plans, South Korea was ( using the newly minted Aeroplan miles way to slay )and them bam, pandemic extentions

Going forward Etihad will still offer a decent 1st class on their other metal albeit it wont be the upstairs experience.

View our dedicated video on scoring the Etihad A380 Apartments below

4. Radisson splits

Formerly Club Carlson then renamed Radisson rewards now splits the programme (&website) up to Radisson Americas and Radisson EMEA APAC, how this will come into effect is due later this month.

1. The 6 Riyal Umrah

What times? Whats faster? Back to back? See the drop down text.

Access the tutorial HERE.

2. First class for less.

In our previous newsletter we touched on the big news of Canadian Aeroplan’s codeshare with Etihad, what was not known then was the good news Aeroplan had in store for its new program launch enabling easy mile earn potentials.

• Family pooling – combine miles up to 7 family members

• Rocketmiles bonuses.

This is the most interesting bit. We have covered previous 1st class flights how we have maxed these promos staying often at places where there are no branded hotels or are when they are no good (such as Sri Lanka, Reunion and outer islands of Seychelles such as Praslin, we even did a 1 night miles boost at this premium place HERE  during our 14night paycation). This also works well with local stays as many countries only have domestic travel open.

There’s a double promo that one (or rather families) can take advantage of.

1. Earn 5,000 bonus miles or points at select properties on your first hotel booking . Offer HERE.

2. Aeroplan member exclusive: Get 5,000 bonus miles. Offer HERE

Make 3 reservations, each for 2 nights or longer, and earn 5,000 bonus miles. Book hotels around the world, and the bonus miles will be sent straight to your account after your 3rd stay.

There are heaps more changes such as:

• Combine points and cash for flight or multiple flights (finally)

This reminds me alot of Etihad’s slider option below, where one can leverage cash to miles at a cheaper rate than buying the miles on promos.

• Combine a paid fare and award flight.

• Earn status on buying miles.

Share your status with friends and family, even if they not traveling with you (similiar to Hyatt’s top tier style ‘guest of honor’).

Stopovers for 5000 points. This parts a no-brainer for travelers who love to turn one a one city trip into a multi city or multi country trip.

3. United plans JNB route

United Airlines, one of the US big3 gave notice this week they plan to fly direct to Johannesburg soon.

• This is big news because there will be a huge competition now for SAA for this direct flight to New York (Newark).

• United has minimal taxes, expect to pay between $5.60 to $31.46 taxes per award ticket – even in business (SAA – even on Journeyblitz charges $200 per way)

• United has launched dynamic awards, so using miles for domestic starts at 5k miles, Europe for 21k miles and Middle East 31k miles on Saver Awards – All with minimal taxes.

• United will fly the latest Boeing 787-9 on this route. SAA has sadly returned their new leased planes while they get their funding together with only handful of older planes.

• United has also given notice of 2 new destinations in Hawaii – Kona and Maui. I can wait to see the booking options on South Africa – Hawaii when its ready.

• Hey they also do Tahiti, so imagine being able to book Pape’ete. This should make Bora Bora heaps more affordable but not quicker (this is a long long flight schedule)

• United is a Star Alliance member, so expect perks with holders of Voyager, Turkish, Lufthansa etc that would come in handy.

• United has (for now) eliminated change fees and stand by fees.
