No-one suggested it would be - apart from a few visionaries in this thread

This is fantastic.

I've got 3 nyts paid booked in Manila before going to Shangrila Boracay on May 24-27. Now I have to cancel and book IC Manila and saves me $$$.

But it is still 30K.

I am one of the "visionaries" who predicted the end of Pointbreaks some weeks ago. I delight in the fact that I was completely wrong. I've just booked 37 nights on the new list to be used personally by me and/or my immediate family between now and 30 July.

Super list for us -- thanks ICH Group. With lists like this, all of our paid stays and business trips will always remain on ICH brands.

We get free rooms in hotels that can't be filled, you get our loyalty. I think this is working for everyone.

Don't change it !!!

Visionary is not the term that popped into my mind. I would post what the name is, but have no desire to be suspended at this moment.

There are always Chicken Little's who say the sky is falling. Especially with IHG until we actually see it, don't believe anyone. Not a phone rep, not a company insider, nobody.

booo
no poland

but IC Abu Soma (Egypt) is a good property, though the regular rate is cheap..
They do go above and beyond for RAs.. Nice upgrade, free full buffet breakfast, cocktail reception, etc.

Thanks LapLap.

I was able to get 2 nights at some not very exciting hotels in PA and NY.
