Transfer AMEX, Citi, etc. points to Emirates Skywards; note that sometimes Chase transfers can take up to 48 hours, but Emirates will usually be willing to put the award seats on hold before you transfer points. Transfers may take longer if you just opened a Skywards account.

In Greece, our clients' current favorite properties are Amanzoe in Porto Heli, the One&Only Kea Island, Astir Palace (Four Seasons), and The Romanos, Costa Navarino.

In Milan we like the Mandarin Oriental Milan, Portrait Milano, Four Seasons Milano and Park Hyatt Milan, but during October as well as late April-May, also venture further afield to Caruso (a Belmond hotel) on the Amalfi Coast, the Grand Hotel Timeo in Sicily, the Mandarin Oriental Lake Como, or from October-November and late March on, Castello di Casole in Tuscany.
