If you are interested in new Hyatt Properties, feel free to check out one of the following hotels that have opened quite recently: 

Recent Openings:

• Andaz Tokyo 
• Park Hyatt Changbaishan
• Hyatt Regency Changbaishan
• Hyatt Regency Tianjin East
• Hyatt Regency Suzhou

Remember that this promotion gives up to 40% and therefore this promotion may differ from property to property. For example the Hyatt Gold Passport 5 Day Flash Sale rate at the Hyatt Regency Phuket is only 30% off the Hyatt Daily Rate. It is however a great deal if you're travelling between 02 July to 31 August 2014! 

If you have an existing status in one of the following programs, it may be a good idea to consider a Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond Challenge to get complimentary breakfast or a complimentary suite upgrade:

Hilton Honors: Gold & Diamond
Marriott Rewards: Gold & Platinum
Starwood Preferred Guest: Platinum
IHG Rewards Club: Platinum

For more information regarding the Diamond Challenge and some of the cheapest Hyatt properties around Asia-Pacific to complete the challenge, please check out my previous post HERE. 

Summer Deal for Hilton Singapore and Conrad Centennial Singapore

Save 20% off Easy Cancellation rates when you stay at either the Hilton Singapore or the highly-rated Conrad Centennial Singapore from 01 July 2014 to 31 December 2014. Reservations need to be made between now and 31 August 2014. Summer deal rates are non-refundable and non-cancellable. 

For more information pertaining to this promotion, please click HERE. 

Since these are non-refundable rates, kindly make sure that your travel plans are firm before booking. You should always select the Summer Deal rate over the Advance Purchase rate since they are 20% off the Easy Cancellation rate instead of 15% for the latter.

ExxonMobil Asia Pacific (Esso Singapore) - Free 1,200 KrisFlyer Miles!

If you reside in Singapore and you are not already an Esso Smiles Loyalty Programme member, you're in luck! There are two things you need to do to receive 1,200 free KrisFlyer Miles. 

1. Head down to an Esso Station to sign-up for the programme.
2. Sign-up for Auto Conversion - If you do this in-store, you will receive only 1,000 miles but if you do it on-line yourself, it's 1,200 miles in the bag! 

Smiles Points Conversion Rate

You generally earn 1 Smiles Point for every litre of Synergy fuel purchased at any Esso service station. However, if you do purchase over 250 litres of Synergy fuel in a calendar month, you will earn a 35% bonus on your Smile Points that month which will be credited into your account by the end of the following calendar month. Therefore, if you do purchase 250 litres of Synergy fuel for the month of June, you will receive 325 (250 + 75) Smiles Points by the end of July. Auto conversion takes place on a weekly basis. Smiles Points earned will not expire as long as a qualifying purchase is made with the same Smiles card every 12 months.

If you are one of five new sign-ups to accumulate the most number of Smiles Points (e.g. if you drive a Hummer), you will win 10,000 bonus KrisFlyer miles! 

The following conversion rate applies: 110 Smiles Points = 100 KrisFlyer Miles

You may also choose to convert your Smiles Points to other programmes:

• Asia Miles: 150 Smiles Points = 100 Asia Miles
• LinkPoints: 500 Smiles Points = 1,500 LinkPoints
• Citi Dollars: 150 Smiles Points = 400 Citi Dollars (160 Miles)

It is worth noting that converting to Citi Dollars and then into KrisFlyer Miles will earn you more miles than the auto conversion in this promotion. For the sake of comparison, both conversions have been weighted down to 100 Smiles Points.  

1. Auto Conversion Method: 100 Smiles Points = 90.9 KrisFlyer Miles
2. Citi Dollars: 100 Smiles Points = 106.7 KrisFlyer Miles. 

The latter method does require an Administrative Fee of S$25 per conversion so it is important to keep that in mind when deciding. 

Promotional Period: up until 31 July 2014.
