FAKE 5-Star Hotels?! ("Points Farms")
from Credit Card BS Podcast · host Shaun and Sherwin
"Points farms" are hotel properties that charge way higher prices than can be justified by their service and quality but are able to get away with it because of how many people stay there on points. We discuss this phenomenon, how the economics of hotel corporate reimbursement influences point farming behavior, its impact on service recovery, and give some opinionated examples of points farms. This knowledge might totally change how you view the value of points and miles.OMAAT article: https://onemileatatime.com/insights/hotel-points-farms/📱Free Award Travel Discord Group: https://discord.gg/the-travel-lane-932731929030197249💳Our Favorite Credit Cards: https://beacons.ai/creditcardbs (Referral Links)(Using our links greatly helps support the podcast!)📰Join the Travel Lane Elite Newsletter: https://the-travel-lane.ck.page/signup
