Started last week with a status fast-track offer, and today I get another offer, double points for the rest of 2010. Did I bite? Heck yeah, I did. The offer is targeted, so don’t be disappointed if you can’t register. You can review the discussion about the double points offer in this Flyertalk thread and attempt to register using a link provided there as well..

No such luck. I have 500,000 HH points but after my most recent stay at the HGI in Montreal, I’m ready and willing to give them all back.
Scenario – My seventh stay in the last 14 months. I like the restaurant, so I spent an average of $1200 per visit.
On my arrival I was “rewarded” with a fruit basket. I refrigerated the fruit and waited until the next morning. Found that all the fruit was rotten. Three tangerines that were actually dripping “stuff”.
I mentioned it, not really complaining but more of “don’t let this happen to anyone else”. On my final night there, the Food Service Manager offered me dinner. I declined saying that it wasn’t necessary.
She insisted and was just about to walk away when the GM approached. She told him of her plan. He gave her this look of dismay, scowled at me and walked away.
I ordered steak, was going to anyway, but obviously he thought I should’ve been more conservative, as I got another scowl as my dinner was delivered.
When checking out the next morning, I met him again. He still had the same look of disgust on his face.
There’s a Crowne Plaza close, and while I have not had any luck with HI’s in the past, it appears I need to give them another chance.
And I’ll make sure to send HH a note and ask them why their not offering me double points. (I could tell them to stick twice as many points in the future.)
