Amex Membership Rewards, which is one of the major transferable points programs, has just added a new points transfer partner. Specifically, you can now move points to Leading Hotels of the World Leaders Club, potentially unlocking stays at hundreds of luxury properties, including some of the most well-regarded in the world.
You should think of Leading Hotels of the World as more of a hotel marketing group than as a single hotel group. LHW doesn’t manage its hotels; rather, it markets a group of otherwise independent luxury hotels. As a matter of fact, many properties of smaller hotel groups, such as Rocco Forte, belong to LHW.
Let me note that what’s really cool about this partnership is that you can redeem at some independent luxury hotels that you can’t otherwise currently efficiently book with transferable points.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
