In the last issue, we talked about how to arrange free holidays with the help of credit card rights and senior hotel members.

Many viewers asked me where I got so many senior hotel members.

In this issue, let's talk about how to get high-end hotel membership.

Simply put, there are usually only two ways to get high-end hotel membership, and the second way is the most suitable:

The first way is to travel more and stay in hotels, which will naturally make you a hotel member. A business dog like me used to go on a business trip for half a year and stay out for 50-60 days every year.

If your accommodation budget is high enough, you can choose Hilton, Marriott, Shangri-La, IHG and other hotel groups. If you stay 20-30 nights a year, you will get a gold card. If you stay for 50 nights, you will be able to upgrade your Platinum Card and Diamond Card.

However, if your accommodation standard is as low as ours, you can also choose to live in Hanting. After living in Hanting for many years, all of them have become permanent platinum of Chinese Living Association.

The second way is to use credit card matching. This is what I want to emphasize.

For example, the Hilton Diamond Card in my hand.

That's 20 19. I used my Visa Signature credit card to participate in Hilton's matching activities. I stayed in the hotel for two nights and then sent the gold card directly.

Then the epidemic came, and Hilton drastically lowered the threshold for diamond cards, and only after staying in 20 Stay can she be promoted.

Twenty rooms seems like a lot, but considering that the price of Hilton Peng Huan Hotel is not much higher than that of All Seasons Hotel, it is not difficult to get a diamond card if you travel frequently every day.

Participating in matching activities and obtaining these senior members need to accumulate some high-end cards every day.

For example, unionpay diamond card

UnionPay Platinum Card

American Express Platinum Card

VISA signature card

MasterCard World Card

SkyTeam Gold and Silver Cards

Star alliance gold, silver and so on.

Some of them have high gold content and are not easy to obtain, such as the gold and silver cards of airlines and the diamond cards of UnionPay.

The high-end cards of overseas clearing organizations, such as American Express Platinum Card, VISASignature Card and MasterCard World Card, are ordinary platinum cards with no annual fee in China, which are available in every bank, and there is almost no threshold for application. I suggest you get these cards when you are free, just take one with you.

Senior members of each hotel launch various matching activities from time to time. With the help of these activities, you can get advanced membership of star-rated hotels.

For example, in June 5438+February, I used the platinum card of American Express to match the platinum card for the return trip.

The annual fee-free Guangfa Wildlife Park card I recommended before can also participate in the activities.

This activity has been going on for a long time. Why did I attend in June+February of 5438?

The main reason is that the platinum card for the match revisiting is valid for 24 months, so I don't need this card in the short term, so I will wait until the last month of the event to extend the reservation time of this card.

For those who have applied for a safari card before, it is strongly recommended that you book a platinum card for a return trip and the free room promotion rights of Atlantis and Club Med in Sanya. If you can use it within two years, it will certainly be of great value.

Holding a platinum card can also gain additional benefits by "talking" with the front desk, thus improving your success rate.

In addition to the return trip, before 65438+February 3 1, if you have MasterCard's world pole card, you can also match Wyndham Hotels Group's diamond card.

Before 65438+February 3 1, you have Visa unlimited card and consumption abroad is full of 500 yuan. You can also use it with Wanda Hotel Platinum Card and Suning Hotel Black Gold Member.

Wanda's platinum card also includes room upgrade, free breakfast and executive lounge treatment.

Similar to the members mentioned above, you don't need to stay a few more nights, you can get them directly for free. It is recommended to apply again when you have time.

There are often platinum cards of A Hotel Group that can directly match the activities of gold or platinum cards of B Hotel Group.

With these free hotel memberships and the above-mentioned high-end credit cards free of annual fees in hand, we can always be ready to participate in the high-end member matching, challenges and gifts activities of international hotel groups such as Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Accor and Shangri-La that appear irregularly every year.

See you next time.
