Russia’s Transaero Privilege has discontinued their
partnership with World Hotels. Members of the Privilege program can no
longer earn miles for stays at World Hotels. What is interesting is they
state “Opportunities of the Program to earn and use Points constantly
expanding. Follow our news.” but the only partner it seems that
Transaero has added in the past 12 months was Golden Tulip hotels.

night category changes. 12 hotels move up in categories while 5 hotels
are going down (Source View from the Wing)
Hyatt becomes the fourth major hotel to announce free Wi-Fi
for stays at their hotels. The big difference with Hyatt’s announcement
today is their lack of limitations on the free Internet that will
become available in February.
“Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced
plans to offer free Wi-Fi at all Hyatt hotels worldwide, providing
connectivity and convenience regardless of booking method or loyalty
program participation.”
As you can see in the excerpt from their press release,
unlike Marriott or SPG who will require you to be a member of their
loyalty programs and also book only via their proprietary booking
channels, Hyatt is making their Internet access free to everyone and
where available, Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond and Platinum tier members
will receive a complimentary upgrade to premium Wi-Fi service.
Earlier in 2014 Marriott bought
South African based Protea Hotels and now 26 of their hotels in South
Afric will become part of Marriott Rewards in February while the
remainder of their hotels in Africa are set to join later in the year.
