Guru’s Wrap-up
I Prefer Hotel Rewards is the loyalty program for Preferred Hotels & Resorts, which offers over 600 luxury hotels across 80 countries.
The average value for these points would be about half a cent each. That means that you will not get any outsized value even with this 30% bonus. Also Citi points could be transferred to Prefer Hotel Rewards at a 1:4 transfer ratio until last month, so h9opefully you already transferred points before the devaluation.
