Anyone had issue with using multiple of the WAJ gift cards for the restaurants/ shabbat meals? (does it matter if the GC are under different names)?

Thanks!

Have an upcoming stay- anyone know which restaurants in the WAJ i can use the $50 gift cards (the virtual WAJ gift cards) also anyone know if the front desk knows how to use the regular GC as well, have not been able to get a clear answer from WAJ receptionist. Any data points if I can use it for the shabbat meals as well? any issue with combining multiple gift cards? Greatly appreciate the help!

THANKS!

I asked their WhatsApp number if you could use multiple gift cards for the afternoon tea at King's Court and they wrote that I could.

From what I understand, you can use the virtual gift cards at any POS system within the hotel. Meaning: any restaurant, spa, or anyplace else where they have a “cash register” like you would normally see at a retail location, where you pay for the food/service at that location within the hotel. But for anything that needs to be done via the central system at the front desk (room payment, Shabbos meals, etc.), you CANNOT use the virtual gift cards.

Thanks!

The WhatsApp number for the spa is https://wa.me/972549509040
They’re the ones who sent me the link for buying GCs, and answered some of my questions.

Anyone try getting them to run the Shabbos charge through a restaurant POS?

Has the food situation (Taste, quality, freshness) improved over the last couple of months. I have an upcoming stay and wondering if I should risk it or go to a different hotel.

Are the upgrades, worth it? Meaning are the rooms that much nicer etc?
