Plus, reminder: Your Amex Platinum’s $50 Saks credit resets in July June 7, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily Newsletter]( TOGETHER WITH [Partner Logo]( [THE POINTS GUY]( TOGETHER WITH [Partner Logo]( Same hotel, new brand by Tanner Saunders, Senior Hotels Reporter [TPG | Hero Image] A strange phenomenon has been happening in the hotel world over the last few weeks: A handful of luxury boutique hotels suddenly announced they were converting to popular points brands and joining a loyalty program. Two of those are the iconic Turtle Bay Resort in Hawaii, which is [changing into a Ritz-Carlton]( and The Resort at Pelican Hill in California, which is [becoming a St. Regis](. While there are a lot of possible reasons why this is happening, like access to Marriott Bonvoy’s 200 million members, it’s a win for points and miles enthusiasts who can now (or soon) book these hotels with points. But it’s not just boutique hotels; even some popular hotels already part of major hotel brands are “reflagging,” an industry term that means they’re switching brands. In Phoenix, the historic Arizona Biltmore is [saying goodbye to Waldorf Astoria in favor of Hilton’s LXR brand](. In New York, the Conrad New York Midtown is [leaving Hilton altogether in favor of Marriott](. Now the question is, what changes will happen next? And will we see even more independent hotels finally be bookable with points? Hot tip: Even if your favorite luxury hotel isn’t part of a loyalty program, it may very well be part of a program like [American Express' Fine Hotels + Resorts that offers elitelike benefits]( (such as free breakfast, room upgrades and property credits) similar to having status with a program like Bonvoy or Hilton Honors.
