So, who (aside from those I told ;) ) wants to guess the number of nights I booked from my account hoping that something will work out :D

So assuming you've got like 2millions SPG points and it's 130k for 5 nights, I'd bet you booked like 15 different options for 75 nights 😂😂😂

I'd totally buy it, but only if Dan confirmed with all his other buddies that they weren't booked for the same week.  I'm really not looking for a Maldives DO 😆

I'd say a few days. The hotel knows already, they aren't very happy about my multiple bookings...

The real question is should the hotel or SPG be the one that cares?

35k is I think the actual normal amount for this category.  They just didn't take advantage of being exempted because they are technically all suites.  Plus it's a brand new hotel that they need to fill so especially the initial fall bookings it seems like they'd want to honor it.

30K is normal. They have the villas listed as upgraded rooms rather than suites, hence the small upcharge.
Hard to know if that was intentional or now.

Im thinking of making another booking.. Do you think you will be able to move the dates/bookings around even if they go up?
