interesting thank you points hotel booking
« on: May 17, 2012, 08:40:32 PM »
I was just curious and was looking at using thank you points for a hotel booking in Venice. There was one hotel that i was looking at on expedia that was showing as 323 dollars a night for 4 nights. On thankyou's website it is showing as 63600 points or $636 for all four nights!!!

Are you sure that wasn't per night?

 If not, great! sounds like a good deal to me...

Ask to be put in the side building as not to have to deal with automatic door on shabbos (i'm not sure if the rooms are any different).
Ask them behind the desk to leave your electricity/AC on all shabbos

IIRC when you leave the hotel you give them your key and they turn off the electricity and AC to your room. When to come back in they turn it back on. I don't remember if it's exactly like that but something similar. I believe I just asked them and they left it on all shabbos

It's a main building and then there are a few extra rooms that enter through a separate entrance

I tried to book this deal with my Thank You points, but this hotel isn't appearing at all. I thought that maybe it's just booked on my dates, but when I try to book directly through the hotel, there are clearly rooms available. Perhaps this offer is no longer valid? My dates are 6/1 - 6/4. If anybody can tell me what I might be doing wrong, I'd be greatly appreciative.
