You must use the code M3C for rates that include room only or M3B for rates including breakfast. This is only for participating hotels in Asia and Australia, although the list appears to be quite comprehensive. The Points Guy suggests … [Read more...]

Should You Request a Status Match?
Given the abundant status match offers in recent weeks -- brought on, I think, by the changes at Starwood and American -- several readers have asked me if they should take advantage of this or that offer.
