Hoping for some guidance -
trying to book rooms for some family members travelling early next year. (2 rooms)
1) I am gold, if I book for them and don't show, does that work?
2) if I book 4 (week)nights it shows at 95k a night, or $579. They won't be there for Shabbos, but want to come back Sunday night. If I do the full week it drops to 81k points and the rate for Shabbos is $550 a night. seems odd that Shabbos is cheaper?
3) Considering the above pricing, and the fact that my HHonors account is depleted, what would be the recommended path to book?

1. No issues generally but since ypu can xfer for free you can put it into their account and have them open card for gold b4 that. Also you could xfer to diamond account.
2. Pricing might be changing based on 5th night free

I could be wrong but I think Dan and a number of other people already posted it upthread.

Can someone recommend where to have Friday night meals and possibly shaabat lunch?
Also, is the breakfast any different on shaabat than it is on weekdays?

Friday night at the WAJ.

Shabbos lunch at the WAJ free breakfast, which of course is different then on weekdays.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
