Yup have any idea how much their worth?
I think at least $400 per night using cash, so if you find someone who's going to the WA anyways and paying for it, you might be able to get $300

How much compensation should one expect for the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem not having any options on their room service menu besides one scoop of chocolate ice cream (at 11:30pm) when they offer a full 20-30 choice "menu"???

Hilton doubletree reservation booked with Gold account. Broken wifi service. 10k Hilton points.
The hotel manager gave me an additional 10k points. I never emailed the hotel directly, only Hilton itself. I guess Hilton worldwide forwarded them my email, but I ain't complaining.
Life is as good as you make it...

was there on a motzei  shabbos and they were out of fish which is a big part of their menu,they were also out of all their deserts 
ordered a salad without tomatoes, the entire thing came full of tomatoes.
bottom line it might be a Waldorf but your still in israel

If I request compensation for an SPG booking made out of someone else's account (I was added as an additional guest), do I put that account at any risk?

Why would asking for a compensation put the account at risk??? ???

What's the difference if the acct holder was there or not?
You're trying to get compensation from the hotel or from starwood?

They didn't give me anything. They forwarded my complaint to the hotel, and the hotel gave me a nice compensation.

Eh. Not gonna drive myself crazy for another 2k. And besides, this was about a month ago, so feel like if I call back and bring this problem up now, it's a bit too late. I still had a great time so I'm fine with the 10k.
