Pretty sure Eden Roc isn’t part of any chain. At least that’s what they told me when I called and asked to have my member number included. Further i had requested a status match to my Bonvoy Elite and never heard a response from World Hotels. Good luck though.

Regent Taipei should be an outlier here as well as certain of the Kimptons, even those in the USA (i.e. Banneker DC).

Re: Canadian Tire store under investigation for alleged exploitation of temporary foreign workers

$27, $20?an hour not decent? The scam is they get them here and exploit them until they run away. I doubt they'd try and exploit locals. Where is this Ezhil Natarajan from anyway?

Immigration consultant is another word for scam. This is typical practice in Asia / Middle East where these so called experts prey on the vulnerable and charge them these exorbitant fees for essentially processing paperwork. They are likely also being paid by the employers. CRA should investigate their T1.

Don't worry about TS getting to the game. The West Wing foreshadowed all of this back in 2001 with S 02 E 15 "Ellie"

Which members are getting these Diamond fast track offers ? I’ve stayed multiple stays during the past year, including 2 nights recently and have another 8 nights booked in December. No offers have been sent my way to maintain Diamond or any other level for 2024.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Catering Chaos! (Bring Your Own Food)

So only in Malaysia would they cancel one contract for catering without having a new caterer established. Clearly some monkey business going on.

Re: How’s The Hilton Food & Beverage Credit Instead Of Breakfast Working For You?

Just finished 2 nights at Conrad Midtown NYC. Got the daily $50 F+B credit which helped defray just under 50% of the buffet breakfast cost in Dabble. When the hell did the buffet price increase to $45/pp?
Madness.

From the Shenanigans we see this morning, you will see nothing will change. BN making all sorts of $$ offers to have newly elected MP's switch parties to support BN. King has delayed Dr M's swearing in.
