Le Mieridian - Dead Sea, Help Needed please! Israel!
« on: February 09, 2010, 05:37:46 PM »
I am booking a stay at this hotel for 2 nights, the going rate is $300/night.
it is a category 3 hotel so 7,000 for a free night.
or 50% off, $150/night + 1,000 points
or cash and points, $45 +2,800 points

Which way is the best to maximize my point redemption value?

also does anyone have any recommendations of where to stay in Jerusalem? and also over Shabbos?

obviously cash + points, if you can get it, they usually dont offer it

Dan - maybe we could get a sub folder on Israel so people can find answers to past questions.

The 50% off is 50% off of the rack rate, which is usually much higher than the going rate.
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.
