lot of rumblings/grumblings about SPG either buying IHG :dunno: or getting bought by Hilton  :sdeek:

if Hilton buys them flyertalk'ers will jump off of very tall buildings to their deaths

I'm pretty divested of Hilton and SPG points right now so it won't effect my current point situation a lot but LOL if Hilton buys SPG and then converts SPG points to Hilton points at a 1:1 ratio and then makes all the SPG properties part of the Hilton point scheme.

none, it's all just speculation. the SPG CEO just said they are exploring options to either purchase or be purchased by someone and wall street types have floated the two options mentioned as making sense and then followed those up with grumblings.

I mean, will there be a decent window of time to Dylan for a month in an SPG, or will I just be mumped one morning?

oh, there will almost certainly be a window where you know you need to unload whatever you need to unload

Some of them have free slow wifi. OMA does. This will allegedly be much faster wifi.

raquetcat bro wants to fly from KC to Charleston S.C. in late August, they will also be staying at a hotel a few nights there too. Is there anyway he could get a cc now to get points and get a free flight/hotel?

I told him I thought the rewards flight was pretty much out of the question b/c it's too late, what's his best bet for a hotel?
I'm purple down

There are rewards flights available for ~26k miles, could he  just get the SW card worth 25k and then just purchase the extra 1k miles? or I could just gift him the 1k miles I guess. If he got the card and met the min spend in a few weeks would he have the points and be able to book for a late August flight?

If he gets the 25k miles, then he'll have the 26k miles as well.

About $450, round trip. Would any hotel redemption get him a better value?

What is award availability like for Hyatt properties? If he got the free 2 night Hyatt card and meet the min spend in 1.5 - 2 months would there be any award rooms left for late August?
