Points can get you stays at some pretty incredible hotels, and I don’t want to in any way diminish that. There are plenty of properties in the Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, and World of Hyatt portfolios (among others), that are awesome to stay at.
However, I think there’s an interesting distinction that’s worth making, whereby a subset of luxury points hotels are what I like to call “points farms.” I’ve used this term a few times in passing, and I figure it’s worth dedicating a post to this. Let me explain…
But here’s the thing… a lot of hotel groups (and particularly, hotel owners) know how irrationally loyal people are to certain programs, and as a result, they’ll use it as an excuse to charge more and provide less.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
