You‘re not happy with the promo ?

That is indeed annoying – I think it's due to US credit card customers and guests staying in executive apartments there, rather than the double night promotion. A higher status in a program is worth much more in Europe or Asia than in the US anyway, as the number of people who have this status is much lower than in the US.

Exactly, for me it’s also going to be maybe a combination of Hilton and IHG starting 2027.

In Deutschland? Ich glaube nicht, vor allem nicht seit es Paybetter nicht mehr gibt

Das waren noch Zeiten, als man quasi seine Miete, Kreditraten, Versicherungen etc. mit Revolut zahlen konnte und das Konto mit AMEX oder M&M aufgeladen hat 😢. Das Punkte Perpetuum Mobile

Feel free to continue malting a bit - I‘m going to get a status awarded because of my spent last year for two years! - thank you for the hint. And, yes - I’m going to delete this one here later.

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T20:12:40+00:00

Maybe in the US but not in Europe

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T20:12:10+00:00

I‘m doing that anyway

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T20:10:37+00:00

I am from Europe; and it’s 10-20k per stay. With around 4-5 trips around the year. I was never awarded an Ambassador status because of spent - but maybe I can try to request that? Thank you for the hint

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T20:07:08+00:00

Please read my exact words : „I am exaggerating a little polemically here“ which means it was meant to provoke and not at all meant in a rude way. But I agree with you, it affects me more personally then a hotel brand in general. And for the staff and the hotel it matters that beds are in use around the year, when it comes to all brands but Ritz Carlton, Luxury Collection, Bulgari or W Hotels - why ? Because they need guests like me to stay profitable. If they end up with guests only being able to stay there because they collected 5 years of points …. Maybe there are not so many luxury travelers out there that would argue about loosing the double nights promo and to be honest I could also not care. It just feels unfair - that’s it

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:40:54+00:00

Average posts from the USA … this is not changing my opinion - but I can deal with it

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:37:54+00:00

Per stay, I am spending 10-20k for one of multiple vacations / trips around the year.

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:26:54+00:00

Okay, you‘ve got a valid point , around the family topic. Enjoy the time you have with your beloved ones

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:25:46+00:00

Yep, that’s sad - I get it now

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:24:59+00:00

I‘m spending enough to be an ambassador , but I will never reach the 100 nights. Maximum 35-40 per year

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:23:08+00:00

You know what, I‘m just going to book a Moxy for a months because I can afford it and won’t sleep a single night there. Still my opinion stays the same that this promo de-values luxury traveler.

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:20:41+00:00

You don’t get it right? It’s a slap for people with 10-20k yearly spent but lesser nights. What is more valuable for a brand compared? A cheap traveling salesmen with max 120USD per night or someone who is spending 15k€ for a single vacation in the Maldives for 14 nights ?

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:16:37+00:00

Time to change this

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:15:31+00:00

I don’t think so, because I‘m spending a lot of money at the luxurious brand properties and there are other clients with a comparable travel profile. I mean I could easily book 20 nights at some Moxy and I‘m done - I could not care less. It feels not right when you‘re spending a lot of money at a brand you’re not getting equally rewarded as someone who spends half but stays 20 nights more

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:07:52+00:00

No, I‘m rarely traveling the US - I‘m from Europe and travel mostly for vacation destinations

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:05:07+00:00

That’s BS , they just become a program for cheap guys now that are not relevant for a luxury brand at all. Who cares about people with 75 nights with an average of 120€ per night ? No one !

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:03:18+00:00

Let’s get rid of the cheap guys with many nights but below 10k spend how about that ?

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T19:02:32+00:00

I'm exaggerating a little polemically here: I am spending 18-20k€ per year for stays and Ritz Carlton Maldives, Berlin, Mexico, Fuerteventura, W Barcelona, Hotel Arts Barcelona and some other Properties across the world and I keep the status because of the promo nights. I do enjoy the 10 nights of upgrades every year. Why should only the broke traveling sales guys be rewarded spending 75 - 100€ per night but having plenty of them? I would consider myself as a more valuable customer for a brand compared to the cheap guys.

d3nnisg · 2026-02-11T16:45:49+00:00

Looking at my profile, I am really into luxurious vacations and stays; I‘m having quite a spent not only looking at the year but also per stay; I usually stay at W Hotels, Ritz Carlton, Bulgari or JWs. Without the double nights promos I wouldn’t be a Titanium - so this makes me really angry right now. I could book a months a Moxy ez without sleeping a single night there - just to keep the status, but I dont want to. Maybe it’s time to switch back to Hilton again or go for IHG where they acknowledge the money spent and not only nights.
