This is the second time we see this transfer bonus for The Leading Hotels of the World. So take a moment and check out the program and see if you should transfer points during this promotion. Just keep in mind that these transfers are not reversible.
Warning: Some hotels like the Singapore Kempinski charge taxes that you will not see until you are on the final page of booking. For example, I booked two nights and learned only when I was on the final booking page, that I had to pay $166 in taxes. There is no possibility to find out the taxes until you have the points in your account since you can’t proceed with the booking until you have the points. LHW knows about the issue as does Citi, and neither has done anything to remedy it.
