I got an interesting email form IHG Rewards yesterday. It was sort of a “Christmas Card”, where they thanked me for
in this year alone:
5 cities familiar and new,
7 nights of restful sleep, and
54,658 points, well deserved.
They also sent a link to https://m.ihg.com/hotels/ihg/us/en/myihgtravels, which shows me a map of all the places I’ve stayed with IHG in 2015
I’m not sure what the color coding is, but it seems to match up with green being paid stays (in Phoenix and Washington DC) as part of fulfilling my IHG Accelerate promotion, and the blue being award stays
(SEE ALSO: Ranking the 8 hotels we stayed at on our vacation)
My travel map(s)
Now one annoying thing about this is that it only shows my IHG stays and not other stays or flights. I actually maintain a couple of different travel maps on different sites. Here is my map of counties visited
and I also keep a map over on MostTraveledPeople.com (my review)
I keep a database of the different flights I’ve taken as well (READ: What’s the best site to track your flights?)
What kind of maps do you keep of your travels?

Hey! Thanks for sharing. ‘Most traveled people’ looks like a very cool site/resource, except they are in serious need of some website help to pull themselves out of the 90s. :-/
I also want to know how you could have come to CA and completely missed 3 cool counties and Yosemite National Park!?
Just ribbin’ ya. 🙂
Agreed that the Most Traveled People website is pretty bad 🙂
As for Yosemite, that was a conscious decision. When I was doing my Nevada / California / Arizona County trip back in November, I decided to leave those counties near Yosemite (I just didn’t have the time to get them). I figured Yosemite was a big enough draw that I’d be back there some other time!
Your most traveled people map doesn’t include the UK? Your IHG and flight maps would disagree with that
Heh – you’re right. That must have been an older version of my MTP map!
