Not related to Hotel but wanted to ask about United Mile Play -do you know if United Mile Play “Trip” is defined as Either a one-way flight with the required fare of $200 (example) /or/ a round-trip flight with total of $200(example) ? As long as it is in a single United confirmation number?
@@SmilingTruly888 It can be either. Note that the fare must meet the threshold before taxes, so check the fare breakdown to make sure it's a base fare of at least $200. -Nick
Can you actually top off the 60k IHG certs? I know this can be done with the 40k certs but I saw some folks stating that this can't be done for the 60k ones.
On 6/21/24 I opened a US Bank biz checking account with $800 bonus when deposit $25K within 30 days. Yesterday I deposited what would put me over the $25K, but they gave me a notice of hold and over $6K won't be available until 7/23/24, over 30 days from when opened account. Will I still qualify for the $800 bonus even though some of funds will be on hold at 30 days?
@@slen8988 I think you'll probably be OK. I expect that if you pull up your account, it will show two numbers - your account balance / ledger balance and your "available" balance. I suspect that the ledger balance will show the full amount but they are only making part of it available to use until it clears. -Nick
We don't yet know for sure. It would obviously have to show up on the list of Hilton "resorts". So far, I think only a couple of the ~300+ SLH properties show up under the "resorts". Still, since the charge from one of those properties isn't from Hilton nor even from SLH, I would be pretty surprised if that worked. But we can hope! I'd definitely recommend figuring out how to do a test charge (like making an advance deposit) before counting on it. -Nick
Thank you for the tip, just book 3 nights Hilton SLH in Barcelona June 2025 at 1.46 cent / point.
LFG!!! This is exactly what I need right now! Took advantage of some new SLH properties the other day myself!
Which ones??

There are limits for points pooling. 500k max out, 2m max in per person.

As someone who works for an airline, I must say fare rules suck on our end 😂😂
Don't get excited. Increasing the certificate number just means they are going to devalue points in general
We live in the present. Make use of what you can now. Nothing is promised tomorrow. This post reeks of not having any FNCs
My first thought as well
Thanks for the info + video!
Thank you very much!
I noticed that you can no longer cancel your IHG card and re-apply for a new bonus without waiting 24 months from card cancellation.

Thanks Nick! Appreciate your response, your right, ledger balance shows over $25k so hopefully will get bonus.
Can I use my Aspire Resort credit for SLH property?
