Folks I have a question, one I should know but don't if I'm honest. And not to start too much discussion about 2025 RA renewal but it sort of is in a way.

We know that additional spend is as key as number of nights these days. As a past 200+ nights a year guy down to maybe 50 a year and still getting renewal, it has to be more spend based as Tim concluded a couple of years back. But what precisely is 'extra spend'? Of course we know it's F&B but does it include laundry, hotel cars, hotel parking, in house movies, tours, events, etc. Common sense allows you to sort some of the wheat from the chaff but what do we know precisely? Sounds daft but parking adds a ton of cost for example .... think it's £60 a night at ICPL, 70 Euro a night at Amstel, etc etc.

I ask as this year I have the unusual t avel pattern to be doing about 15 IC's back to back for 2-3 nights each and with potentially a lot in 'extra' spend. Very unusual for me this ... I'm trying copy Hades with his year plan of stops But it would be very good to have a collective understanding as to what constitutes extra spend contribution and what doesn't.
