Surprise for me to be offered 100% bonus as all the previous times with variable extra bonus percentage I was always offered lowest bonus and if effectual rate to purchase is higher than award p&c I am not interested... So my first ever points purchase outside of P&C
Needed an outer London base for a stay of 14nights so purchased 35 & 35 bonus K's for 14night on PB at HIE Dartford although I don't really need middle Sat&Sun the extra 10k is worth it to leave my bits behind in room for second week of stay.
I stayed night I flew in to UK, Mon 27th at PB, HIE LHR T5 Monday 27th as flying in the evening pb's released . Saw hotel bill the HI LHR get just £16.95 night from IHG Corporate... (rate was advertised £110 or £95 on company rate)
