Mesa to Add Omni Hotels and IHG transfer bonus

Today there is a Chase bonus to IHG of 80% which is bad value. You can buy for 0.5 cpp frequently. The interesting news is that Omni Hotels will become a Mesa transfer partner. Omni Hotels & Resorts is an American privately held, international hotel company based in Dallas, Texas.The company was founded in 1958 as Dunfey Hotels, and operates 51 properties in the United States and Canada, totaling over 20,010 rooms and employing more than 23,000 people. Okay only 51 hotel :(. It is in 24 states, 2 in Canada, 2 in Mexico.

Okay, locations are bad but what about awards? Omni says this:Just 100 Omni Credits unlocks a Free Night at any Omni Hotel or Resort. There’s no complicated award chart or redemption formula—just a simple way to reward you for your loyalty. And we’ll waive Resort Service Charges and Destination Fees when you redeem your Free Nights. Also you earn 5 credits per stay as a base member and 1 more for every dollar you spend. I think the transfer ratio will be 200:1 or 250:1 which will mean 20k or 25k if you get a free room. It is like a category 5 or 6 Hyatt. It is good as there is a fixed rate but location is a problem.
