I have previously stayed at the Hilton Tokyo in Shinjuku as well as the luxurious Conrad Tokyo in Minato - they are both excellent properties but of course the Conrad Tokyo is far more impressive (it does however come with a much steeper price tag). Remember you can still use a cashback portal like ShopBack to fully maximise this promotion - click HERE to get an additional 3% cashback!

Buy Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Miles with 50% Bonus - Purchase by 21 December 2018!

If you have not jumped on the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan bandwagon yet, it is not too late to do so but I definitely advise doing it as soon as possible since there is no telling when the Japan Airlines or Cathay Pacific deal would be pulled out. From now until 21 December 2018 , purchase Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Miles and get up to 50% more miles - this effectively reduces the cost per 1,000 miles from USD 29.56 (inclusive of tax recovery fee) to USD 19.71.

Book Direct with Four Seasons for USD 100 F&B Credit (Even 1-Night Stays!)
Book Direct with Four Seasons for USD 100 F&B Credit (Even 1-Night Stays!)

It is always a good idea to book directly with a hotel chain (or via an approved luxury travel agent) when there is a proper loyalty program in place. I have previously written about the Fine Hotels & Resorts program that American Express Centurion and Platinum members can take advantage of - you typically get at least USD 100 worth of Spa or F&B credit that you can make use of during your stay on top of other FHR benefits. While searching for hotels this morning, I noticed the option to sign-up for a Four Seasons profile and upon doing so, it appears that 'members' are now able to receive USD 100 (or equivalent in local currency) Food & Beverage Credit with each stay.
