I booked a Doubletree in Indiana several weeks ago. Trying to cancel it this morning was a surprisingly interesting story. You can get Hilton Diamond status through the Hilton Honors Aspire American Express Card, but I don’t normally stay with them. My primary loyalty when it comes to chain hotels is Marriott and Hyatt because…
Aeroplan extending status through 2022
Aeroplan is one of the first programs to announce a status extension through the end of 2022. As far as I know, it’s the only program based on calendar years (rather than rolling 12 month periods) that’s done it so far. Temporary pause to expiration of Aeroplan points Aeroplan has paused points expiry until January…

All About Marriott Moments

While some of the best redemptions have come from Marriott, such as discounted Category 8 hotel pricing, this is no longer available. I already miss all the lovely hotels I stayed at for only 60,000 points – now they are…
