TotallyOz Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 It is a nice hotel and great deal for 5,000 Points. http://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/bangkok/bkkhi/hoteldetail?ratePreference=IVANI&cm_mmc=socialmedia-_-PCC-_-IHGRC-_-HIBangkokSukhumvit Quote
Guest bbillybb Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I guess this is what got built there after wiping out that huge mostly empty building on the main street of Sukhumvit. Well where do I find these points. Are they free? Looking at the site it says a room starts about 100 US plus tax another 17%. I guess the locals will not be staying there soon..come to think of it neither will I. Quote

You can sign up for a Chase Bank card and get 80k points and thus stay 16 nights there for free. I am sure many locals can afford that right? Free. What a great deal. There are other ways to earn points. IHG just started a new promo and members can earn up to 200,000 extra points. That would be 40 nights there free. But, you have to work hard to get those "free" points and if you don't stay in their branded hotels, it is impossible to achieve. But, the Chase card is free (I think) or very cheap. I also know there are other ways to get points and your airline may have a deal to switch points over. I am not sure the rules. But, to see the rates on their site, just click price with Rewards Points. Quote
