A necessary premise. This is a self-referential article, a reader of our site wrote to us to tell us how, by following our articles, he was able to achieve so many results, without spending, in his normal daily routine, practically nothing extra. Just as with TFCResponses we want to help readers., with this article we want to demonstrate with facts how what we tell on our site is "doable" and how the reward travel be able to enable everyone, not just those who always travel in business, to achieve great results.

His name is Gaetano, he lives in central Italy, and this is his story. May 2021, Rome, Life offers me the opportunity to change my work and lifestyle.

In this article:

    Hilton vs. Marriott

    I know that I will have to spend most of the week in the hotel, and while I am not a novice on the subject, I decide to search the net for information to make sure I take advantage of every possible reward system at 100%.

    Like many, I knew that the status of Alitalia + miles and companion would soon be a fond memory, so the need to maximize every other opportunity was absolute.

    Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?

    You could get up to 600€ compensation per person

    I come across the flight club by chance. and from that moment my life as a serial traveler changed forever.

    I read an article and decided that from that moment I would stayed only in Hilton facilities Having in mind a clear goal suggested by the editors: obtain Diamond status taking advantage of the facilities and reach the points for the 4 nights + 1 free at the Conrad in the Maldives.

    Unbelievable but true, after only 10 months the dream comes true And I am able to book exactly as suggested by TFC.

    I just had to buy a small portion of points, but again, taking advantage of TFC's suggestion, I saved half on the last useful day of the 2×1.

    That's not all, having become TFC addicted, I was able to exploit Emirates status match and with a few euros I secured Gold status that I will use for the flights by which I will reach Malé.

    Needless to tell you how much money TFC has saved me, indeed it is useful...Only for the 5 nights in the hotel the savings were about $7,800... Of course, I could have chosen other chains on my own, but realistically I would certainly have taken out at least $6,000 less in benefits with the same nights.

    The status match, on the other hand, I only repaid it with the free choice of place, totally free so the same benefit for my wife + lounge access and benefits on luggage and check in/check in.

    I will be happy to share a detailed review of both the Emirates benefits and the beautiful hotel, in the meantime I would suggest to blindly rely on TFC's advice, it is worth it!
