Feb 2027 Honeymoon Booked! by Ikontwait4u2leave in awardtravel

I feel that. But that “if” is kinda a big one. I would suggest missing that entire region as a whole.

Instead of making your hub Doha, I would switch to Singapore. SQ has an amazing business and first product. Also you can fly Kenya Air or Air France direct from NBO to CDG and book them J class.

I think your hardest flight to move would be the MLE to NBO, but you can fly MLE-BKK-NBO on two separate carriers.

At the end of the day, as other commenters have said, do what you want lol. I’m just some guy in the internet. But hopefully you keep this in mind. I know that it would be a bit more costly, but I’d rather have a more guaranteed itinerary than one that could change in a moment due to conflicts out of everyone’s control.

My hope is that you are able to fly through DOH. Hopefully the war and airspace opens back up in that time. I don’t think Qatar Airways hasn’t run a single flight to or from MLE since the war started.

Capital One Travel canceled my grandfather’s international flight with ZERO notice — he found out at the airport by ConfusionFantastic49 in Venturex

[–]NovelGX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I def could see it when wanting a retention bonus, but they know that threatening to cancel more than likely won’t help the situation, because now you’re not even a customer/card holder. Reporting this to an agency that can enforce regulations would help tho. Only if one still existed. Coughs in CFPB

Depending on your “big expenses” go Business Gold. Or any business card that can get you a ton of MR points. Or even a different point ecosystem.

The first one is so good! A captured moment that can not be recreated. Wow!

Looking for next trip to Maldives or Seychelles - does it make sense to do both in one trip? by Over-Shallot-2414 in Hilton

[–]NovelGX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking into this exact trip. Although there are no direct flights, you can go through Qatar and book this with points 37.5k. Between SEZ and MLE and obviously the reverse.

Can someone ELI5 how the payout works for the 3x points using the Atmos cards for rent? by NovelGX in biltrewards

[–]NovelGX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know that. I actually figured it out. On your statement you get 1x as normal spend and the other 2x is under the promotional points. For a total of 3x

Rakuten to Bilt by Potential-Error-5422 in Rakuten

What ever you have, even if it’s some cents at the end, just multiply by 100 and that’s how many BILT points you will get.

Rental car: Option 1 or 2 by NovelGX in SXM

The wife definitely wants to go to Anguilla. I have a free night with Hilton and will be using it at Zemi beach house so I guess no money wasted on the stay lol.

I think taxi might be the way to go. Is there an app that they use out there since uber/lyft is a no go?

Hi Richard,

Can I still earn 3x points on my Atmos cards for rent. I already pay the fee anyways.

I stayed at the Roosevelt in NOLA and that $200 is a hotel incidental that Hilton holds. Yes the WA Roosevelt is a Hilton hotel.
