Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a good opportunity for those who want to check out some of the luxury properties that are part of The Leading Hotels of the World. This is the first time that we have seen a transfer bonus from Citi for the Leaders Club program.
I always suggest not to transfer points speculatively, because once you transfer, there’s no going back. So take a look at the program and see if there are any properties that you might want to visit and how they are priced.
