So I have 2 leaders club nights to redeem by 31 august.

I just tried to redeem them at any of the 3 Leading hotels in Zurich on 4 different dates in March.


I then tried to redeem them at any of the 5/6 Leading hotels in Venice on ANY date in May

I then tried to redeem them at the Villa D'Este Como on any date in July or August

I then tried to redeem them at the Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat any date in July or August

Even though there were base rooms available, apparently the hotels had already "reached their redemption capacity for this period".

Really disappointed and I am now looking to spend them in Bath (not my preferred option) at the new Gainsborough if it opens before the end of August. To be honest, I am pretty disgusted as I used to value these free nights at around 500 euros, but seeing as I cant use them for most of my trips and only, it seems for low season, I am now putting a value on them of less than 250 euros
