If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

Is it possible to book out of two separate accounts and still take advantage of the 5th night free promotion? I.e. Me and my wife having separate accounts but we don't have a total of 320k in a single account.

Don't think so, but you can transfer for a fee

i just spent shabbos there, and while the hotel is very nice, the service could definitely use some tweaking to get into the league of real service oriented hotels. with that said, the service is still pretty good
How would you compare it to the Citadel?

How do you gain such status?

Citi Hilton Reserve and some others give it.

No.

Some have reported getting a suite if available by just being gold.

Correct, but a suite is not automatically given to a Gold simply because it's "available."

Availability doesn't equal upgrade. Not rocket science.

I can understand that, but you had said "no" to gold getting it.

No, I said no to:

And the answer is still no. Availability does not automatically equal an upgrade.

One last time. Yes the card gives you gold status. No Gold status does not mean you will get a suite, if one is available. The hotel may be kind, and give it to you, but you are not entitled to a suite.

Gold member. Asked the latest I can checkout since my flight was at night. I was told 4:00 but to just let them know if I need later.

At 4, I let them know im not ready yet. No problem. Finally checked out around 5:00.
