Not related to all the brouhaha going on, but an interesting data point for some:

Booked a cash stay over shavuos in superior room. Waited while I earned certificates and points. By that point, standard availability was gone. Actually all availability was gone.

Held my breath and and had an agent (diamond line) cancel the cash reservations over the phone. Agent immediately saw the rooms go back into inventory and nabbed them with my points.

FWIW.

Assuming there is availability, what do Diamonds get upgraded to? Also, when booking online, it says that the reservation may be subject to 17% VAT. Is that on points bookings as well?

Totally depends. I got a one bedroom suite. If you are Israeli or on a student visa you pay 17% var on what you spend (room is free so no vat)

Ok. So regular tourist from Canada will check out with $0 on the bill (assuming no parking/incidentals)?

Regular tourist visa from Canada is exempt from VAT no matter what you spend.  We got upgraded to a junior suite but since we had 2 rooms w/joint entryway it was an excellent set-up that basically gave us a private 2brm suite.

Sweet. Booked it for my parents for next week. Hopefully they get upgraded (and don't have any problems with second guest checking in).
