is triple dipping possible?
 

I am arranging some hotels for my europe trip and I just realised that it is possible to triple dip but not sure yet and this is where I need guidance to whoever has done it before..

1. I will book through booking.com via A3 website which will get me Aegean miles; 1€ is to 2 award miles

2. Use my Visa card to pay which ties up to my Qantas Frequent Flyer; $1 is to 0.75 miles

3. Earn rewards upon check-in by quoting Krisflyer for non-airline partner of SQ (i.e., Hilton, Accor or ICG). I might get 500 KF per stay one certain hotels.

If there is no thread yet, can we discuss to maximise miles run on hotel bookings.

Why collect air miles when you can concentrate on collecting hotel chain points & benefitting from elite status upgrades as you travel, your ref to booking.com (which is not a good euro aggregator IMO) suggests you are not collecting hotel status in favor of (increasingly useless) air miles.

Use Trivago for hotels in Europe & if your flying to Ireland send me a message and I will tell you where to stay/go/eat/see, we don't share our secrets on the tinterweb, don't ask why, its just an Irish thing.

For where MyPoints has accounts-

1. Your points & miles credit card of choice

2. Go through the MyPoints shopping portal for assorted hotel chains- they'll have Holiday Inn- 15 MyPoints per dollar specials a few times a year including right now. Since you end up booking directly on the hotel's web site, you normally get the usual amount of hotel points to that account.

3. Redeem your MyPoints for United miles

Note that scrappydog is in Australia, and probably does not meet this requirement.

thanks for clearing that up mia. it was on my to do list for the weekend to check what this my points is all about..

umm because i look for more miles in my flights rather than hotels. but on second thought, Hilton HHonour has option to double dip miles for airlines and get points for hotel reards too.

Now my goal is to reach silver and avail of the 5th day free!

Suspected as much with 'Qantas', but continued on because a lot more people than the original posted read these kinds of things.

To ]get points/credit for Hilton it needs to be booked on the Hilton website. So be careful and make sure when you book they say will be eligible for honors perks.

Hilton also has a fastrack to gold after 4 stays. Look in the Hilton forum and search for MVP.
