This past weekend, the Michael W Travels family headed to Philadelphia. The primary reason for our short visit was to spend our first ever stay at a Kimpton Hotel.
Our very pricey Saturday night stay was booked with my IHG Anniversary Free Night, making this a really sweet deal.
While checking in, I gave the Kimpton Secret Password. However, the front desk didn’t know that a new password was out. Regardless, we were given a nice little credit. Continue reading Our Jerky IHG Rewards Club Elite Benefit At Kimpton
Earlier in the month I shared the details about where we would be staying with my IHG Anniversary Free Night. (Hint: It’s a Kimpton property…)

Over the past few years Club Carlson has been one of the most generous hotel rewards program.
For those of us with the Club Carlson credit card, booking award nights can bring us double the value. When booking a stay of two or more nights, the second night is free although that’s about to change in just a few days.
The stay two, get one free benefit is one of the most awesome hotel program benefits but it will be going away at the end of this month. The last day for Club Carlson credit card holders to book stays with this benefit is May 31, 2015. I called to confirm this although I’ve read that some think the benefit ends on May 28…
So with such an awesome benefit going away, what’s was I to do???? Continue reading Club Carlson 2nd Night Free Benefit Ending, 304000 Points Redeemed So Far
