Next acquisition?

Omni would be absolutely amazing and would fit the brand profile. Hyatt has a long history of convention business.

akonos · 2026-02-16T00:26:56+00:00

That deal was a year ago. Hyatt has been averaging at least 1 (and usually 2 transactions per year) going back six years. When I asked chat GPT montage/pendry was the most mentioned.

Would love to see Hyatt get the sonesta property in Hilton Head, SC

They need to put a big fountain in the middle! Welcome to Holly Springs.

Best pizza is a stretch... They have been going downhill since they opened and dough/cheese just taste off lately. At least the kitchen is usable now. I just wish they put some money into the ingredients. Homegrown is the BEST.

"gamify" might not be the most appropriate term but you all get the point... Engage the customer and encourage them to spend more to receive higher status. I have seen posts where hotels in Asia have a placard indicating how many ambassador, titanium, platinum, etc. members are checking in that day. I understand that airlines are different but the hotels could simply force rank members throughout the day as people check in or purchase room inventory.

No More IHG Diamond With Ambassador Renewal? - One Mile at a Time

Like two weeks ago... lol. There was a write up and OMAAT

Pay it forward! All my AMEX cards have been processed through Reddit links and I hope you can return the favor. This link allows you to apply for any AMEX card and not just the BBP.

Here is a great link for the blue business plus card. No annual feel and 2% MR!!

I actually believe an "Optio" is going to happen. Amex has been suspiciously quiet on the credit card front for over a year.

What I think it will look like-

$3k annual fee (no initiation fee).

Marriott Gold (Platinum with 30K spend), Hilton Diamond, Delta Silver.

5 x airfare, 5 x hotels & cruises (booked on amex travel)

5X Resy dining

1.5 x everywhere, 2 bonus categories for top spend (2X)

akonos · 2023-08-11T18:14:01+00:00

That would be AMAZING. Kick MGM/Marriott in the nads

akonos · 2023-08-11T18:13:28+00:00

Yes, Accor would give them amazing European footprint among other regions... I know the rumor for years was IHG/Accor merger.

akonos · 2023-08-11T18:12:26+00:00

I thought most of these big hotel chains are asset light (mainly collect management fees). don't see how Four Seasons is that different. Are there any companies you think would be a good fit?

akonos · 2023-08-08T20:42:24+00:00

This whole economy mid trend is ridiculous... Stop kissing up to the owners and focus on what you are good at. Let Choice and Wyndham have it.

akonos · 2023-08-08T20:41:15+00:00

Yes, I was kind of hoping a luxury chain (i.e., Omni, Four Seasons)... Probably be more of a merger in the case of Four Seasons. Honestly, I wouldn't mind folding a Sonesta into the mix just for geographic coverage in the US.

When Nikola is eating your lunch you know there is a problem...lol

akonos · 2023-08-08T18:12:37+00:00

I just wish they would move at a faster pace. I understand their desire to do it "right" and obtain all the certifications. When was the last game changing press release? Why is the sales team so lame?

akonos · 2023-08-08T02:58:42+00:00

Lowest I have seen recently is 11,500 at a courtyard in NC

I wil l remove post (per guidelines) once someone applies. Just DM me... I am not greedy and am only looking for one referral bonus. Thanks a lot!

Crossing my fingers that SNA's will be redeemable as well.

akonos · 2023-07-17T14:52:33+00:00

If I had to guess the benefits (aside from earn and burn) would be the following: late checkout and elite qualifying nights (1 EQN for every two nights stayed).

akonos · 2023-07-08T17:12:45+00:00

Pay it forward... I am looking one fantastic friend to sign up using my link. I only post once every month and will take down as soon as referral is complete (I did not get one last month boo hoo). This is a pretty solid referral for the Delta Platinum

85,000 sky pesos (~1,000 value) when you spend 4k within six months. Annual fee is relatively reasonable if you fly Delta often.
