If you don’t have any avios points let alone a Executive Club account then you can easily transfer points through various methods, I recommend transferring your:
Marriott Rewards points.
American Express Membership Rewards points.
Starwood Preferred Guest Starpoints.
Verdict
If you haven’t yet booked your holiday for the winter period and your next destination is listed above then this is a great deal for you. A cool 50% off your redemption is a very generous offer. Previously flight redemption promotions have been more focused on flights to Europe as seen from this previous promotion where you only had to pay just a pound for an avios flight redemption to certain cities in Europe.
If you’re going to take advantage of this promotion and you have status in another loyalty program then I recommend that you do a status match to make your travels more comfortable. I previously wrote a post about some of the benefit I enjoy with status.
My Rating: 4 out of 5
