I will. I have 4 weeks until we head off.

Going to bring my Gopro too. Hopefully I get some good videos of Bangkok night walking/muay thai, Siem Reap complex and island stuff.

I need to start practicing with it after this weekend

Whoa, long time. You work for yourself? I know you do the RE stuff.

That's the only way to really do it. Very European of you. They have it made on that.

Tahiti it got me upgraded from a regular hotel room to an over water bungalow - Price difference of $300.

At IC Bora Bora they are all overwater bungalows, so it really doesn't matter. They will only upgrade you to a better view if there is availability. I was not upgraded, nor did I care. I picked the bungalow considered to be the most out of view so I could fully utilize the deck...

At IC Moorea I was upgraded to a beach bungalow - Price difference of $200.






Well I called IHG and got a supervisor on the phone and complained they were not releasing rooms for awards. She said she would investigate and call me back. She called today and said they are and that the rooms are just getting booked. She did mention limited availability because of renovation going on next year so I hope 2017 will have more avail. I said I was looking at midnight 50 weeks in advance so how could they possibly be releasing any rooms? She said someone is booking faster than me

We'd be leaving in April had we had the cards before then. Hopefully April 2017 is back to having it again. And yeah, I will get Ambassador for the other stays like you used them for the BOGO as well.

Did the way of being able to book rooms earlier go away? I see where some people on flyertalk have found another glitch (actual glitch was not posted). Consider sending a PM to some of the guys on the FT ic Thalasso thread. That's how I found the first glitch.

From the looks of it, it sounds like the first glitch did go away but if there is a new one we should try to help Sho Nuff out so he can experience another paradise.......

but really, we should help him out

PS I'm hammere.d

PSS I'm just going to leave that like that

What is the issuing company/bank?

ie Metabank, Bankcorp, Vanilla???

If its a compatible GC, then loading to Serve/Bluebird is the way to go.

Once loaded, you can billpay your CCs from the Serve/Bluebird.

We should have an IRL meet up of fellow travel and point enthusiasts. Share pics and experiences.

Everything I've read about Paypal is it becomes a world of hurt and freezed accounts.

Should be in small print on the back of the card, but I'll just say odds are good it will work just fine if its not a Vanilla. If it was a Vanilla Visa it would be obvious.

What was going on here?

I've played around with the site trying to do all the quirky things that works on other sites, but with no luck.
