First things first, elite feedback:

Clients scoring massive upgrades + 200k and 333k points in the interim, see whats the best freebies instore for them as per my advice: ( some travellers still buy points? )

1) Win 2 x Platinum tickets to Marriage Conference ICC 2017.

2) Meet the TL team, have all your questions answered.

3) Pity Marriott ended free 9000 EY miles promo.

For a few days in June (7th -20th) Etihad mailed out the offer of joining Marriott and getting free 1000 miles. The offer was said to be ongoing to December 31st, however it seems waaaaay too many out of box thinkers started opening 9x Marriott accounts and scoring 9000 EY miles via the family bonus, great if you got in, if not, there’s always a next time as these offers seem to come and go. 2 years back Hertz had a 5000 mile registration = 45000 miles earned free via the family bonus.

4) Emirates Gold in 4 flights.

I go through this daily via email and on the phone: Emirates Elite, Emirates Elite repeat. Unfortunately they have the worlds hardest, most expensive and worst loyalty programme since their changeover in 2013. However there are too many die hards only wanting EK elite, I’ve previously written that EK will give you silver status if you hold Gold in a competitor airline and a return economy booking with them.

As you know the only way to get things done is to jump into it yourself, so as of late I’ve been testing a bit of Emirates. the mileage programme is still super crappy but the unlimited Hagn Dasz ice cream and Voss water in DXB lounge somewhat helps..

Anyway here’s the tips:

Book via a OTA, they often all have flex fares loaded, you might have to call in to them to verify its flex.

Saver fares on EK website:  forget it, see the mileage table on my earnings. Its a slap below the belt.

You can book direct on Emirates a lower class fare and change your itinerary which seems to upgrade the ticket to Flex, a reader done this for zar R2000 and now will earn 13,000 tier miles instead of 1250 tier in saver.

You need 50,000 tier miles to get to Gold, so mathematically all that is needed is 4 flights at best.

You should by then have half a leg upgraded into Business class on your next pnr…

5) Point sales.

Make sure you follow us on Facebook  and Instagram and have your notifications set as per below as we post these sales immediately there.

SPG just had a 35% off sale. Their 2nd biggest offering. Im hoping to buy here at a 50% soon.

Hyatt has a 40% sale ( their biggest offering) HERE.

Hilton Honors has a 80% bonus sale HERE. Its ok-value if you stuck, however see the above elite feedback on how readers are maxing the Honors to the tune of 200k to 330k off a trip ( why bother buying points when you can earn em for free, right? .

Elite client feedback:

As shown on our Instagram account @traveloyalty (<–click) Elite client, Naqiyah clocking 100k points ( that normally costs $1000 to buy!) for the stay using the promos and status to the max. #travelthetraveloyaltyway

1) 2 new Elite offers starting first week May. Limited offer.

Contact me for the details on the offer. Very limited quantity on promo.

2) Hiltons new promo 2x and 3x points for Diamonds.

Access the offer HERE.

3) 4x point promos is the bomb (currently posting as points).

Since Emirates had their version the last 2 quarter’s on 4x miles ( posting as points) Saudia Al Fursan is posting 4x for stays in Saudi as well. Singapore Airlines version has win a trip to Maldives. Take note of the airline and country you intending to stay in ahead. Turkish Airlines version did not post to my account in the previous quarter sadly.

Access the offer HERE.

Read the previous December instalment with advice HERE and the Saudia offer HERE.

Note: just imagine what cash payers for Umrah will score with high rates ahead on the 2x rates + 3x Diamond points + Diamond 50% more +4x Partner Airline promo in one lump payout.

Note: Hilton’s 100% points sale ends 3May. Daily Getaways promo will commence and end on 2May, o if you keen on buying a cool 250k points ontop of the yearly threshold be super fast, all advice HERE.A

If you not certain on this we have all the info from our previous articles HERE or use our dedicated Search window on the website for all the info and more.

4) Etihad Guests excellent value closes one door

Previously Etihad Guest miles got this incredible value. Its no secret to most how easy travel has been.

However, Etihad has massively devalued the Brussels chart without notice.

I hope there isn’t more to follow. Now is the time to travel while massive lucks like the below are still available.

Im a huge fan of Air Seychelles not only because their Business class pays 175% miles per person x9 but look at there low Etihad Guest mileage requirements. Who on earth flies economy here still ?

Malasian Airline requirement o Etihad Guests Miles goes up with distance as most airlines do.

However, check Royal Air Marroc, Business out Morrocco to New York for only 44k miles. Guess who’s going to 2 countries in the Northern Hemisphere flying Business class? Yep that’s right, flyers who put all their money and miles into the best value airlines. Are you winning yet?

I’ve previously covered using Etihad ‘s own Business and First class with miles many times for a whole lot less on the website and Instagram. Read more HERE.

Show me a better airline programme for value?

Access Etihads partner award chart age HERE.

1) IHG Reward Club Pointbreaks April 24th – July 31st, 2017 

Rooms from only 5000 points per night  ($28)

Book HERE. 

List will go live Monday 24th April, however manually log in and search the properties from Sunday 23rd, you may get ahead of the masses.

IHG (Intercontinental Hotels Group), the worlds largest hotel and loyalty programme has released a full hotel list for booking.

If you are un-familiar on how to stay for free at top end Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza Hotels kindly read on:

What is Pointbreaks ?

Pointbreaks is the hotel industry’s most economical ( un-matched and un-rivalled) promotion as +-140 hotels ( out of 4900 +) are available for the redemption of a mere 5000 points regardless of what the normal points reward rate is per night.

How do you earn IHG points ?

You can earn points from stays at hotels or taking up their super lucrative challenges every quarter ( I earned 41,000 points in their Accelerate promo that just ended and a whopping 80,000 in bonus point packages from my USA trip in March )

If you don’t have points, Traveloyalty can show you how to manufacture points using this method HERE at a rate of $35 per 5000. ( That’s half the rate the website sells them at ). It can now be done at $30 per 5000.

You can also buy points on sale offers during the year and earn up to 100% bonus on purchases and end up “paying’ $28 per room.

Remember when you book on points you SAVE ON TAXES.

My Take:

Sadly no InterContinental’s, not one! This is the first time ever there is not one as far as I can recall. However, its always great to see a local transit hotel as well as some Asian hotels for the long weekend and holidays periods ahead.

Sales normally start 1pm ET.

Please note: points takes 10 days to ship to your loyalty account and use any American address when filling out the billing, (google any business there and get one with a zip code + contact number )

You can buy these points over and above the yearly thresholds !
