 What: The Rewards scheme changes again, is this now an annual event as we faced a devaluation this time last year? Previously each brand had its own range of redemption values, with the new scheme the brand is no longer important. It’s too early to find out which category a hotel falls in to, but the categories are as follows. Full details on the Priority Club website are here.

• Category 1      10,000 Points
• Category 2      15,000 Points
• Category 3      20,000 Points
• Category 4      25,000 Points
• Category 5      30,000 Points
• Category 6      35,000 Points
• Category 7      40,000 Points
• Category 8      45,000 Points
• Category 9      50,000 Points
• Add 10,000 Points for all inclusive resorts

 When:

• The new scheme is effective from 18th January 2013
