Thought I don't travel as much as I used to, I still enjoy the benefits of hotel and airlines loyalty programs when I can. And by staying at one hotel brand and flying one airline as often as possible the payback can be nice.
I recently checked into one of my favorite hotels, where my "gold" benefits offer me a club lounge amongst other treats, and they informed me that if I'm in town on the 22nd, when I wake up the next morning I'll be at a totally different hotel! (And for a brand where I don't have an elite status.)
So the question is do I continue staying at a favorite property once the benefits are gone?
Is it really my favorite property once I'm no longer special?
I need to think about that!
Happy travels!
