In reply to Jarvis. He could not have as I am a Lifetime Diamond, a status with superior recognition and only few have experienced...

In reply to Koleg. All rather obvious, but the original poster doesn’t have to be such an obnoxious buffoon to make that point.

In reply to Koleg.

What is the garbage about “freeloaders”? No one expects anything for “free.” I have been to WA Maldives, twice, and have an upcoming 5-night award stay at Conrad Rangali, and I have no idea what you are talking about. I earn my points by spending real money, which I redeem according to the program’s own rules. I expect nothing else beyond what is offered and I suspect that few who play the game by the book expect much more than that.

To harp about some notion of “freeloaders” simply reflects your own mindset as a “freeloader” rather than anyone else’s.

In reply to Orson Cart. Money talks. Higher room rate/ revenues = higher attention / value through senior management. Facts. The GM sees the properties performance. Freeloaders are not driving any significant revenues.

I love how freeloaders getting in trouble in The Maldives. Expecting the hotel to ship and fly in all of the food they want and then give it for free because you stayed 50 nights at a Moxy or Hampton on your employers expenses last year and now you are redeeming your miles and points for a Maldives vacation and acting like the hotel you have chosen to redeem your Moxy points belongs to you.
SPOILER
You’ll get a discount here and there and being invited for a reception if you stay a week or longer, but there’s no classy Maldives vacation available below 200$ per person and Day only for food and beverages.

In reply to JC Montecarlo.

Further newsflash. Points are earned, and one of the best uses for them it to redeem at a high end property. Earn low, redeem high. Sorry you missed the memo.

In reply to JC Montecarlo. Just like before, you sound like someone with a chip on your shoulder, likely because you are not one of the "drama queens who got their status with credit cards"?

Having been to the Maldives once, I’d definitely not stay anywhere that I couldn’t get an all inclusive package, as you said the drink prices are absolutely insane otherwise.

That’s the problem with the Maldives these days.

Tons of Cheapos booking their stays with points (because they cannot really afford the properties). 😂

Rather than enjoying the place, they spend the whole time taking tons of pictures chasing the perfect shot for their followers on Instagram. They mistakenly believe that they are following a VIP who in fact is broke 😂 🤣

Among them, tons of drama queens who got their status with credit cards and cry whenever they are not treated like royalties.

Newsflash: I know several GMs there and they value far more non elite status guests.
