people always say that u can never get rrooms for succos withSPG points, is that true and are there still points rooms available?
I just booked this property for Succos. Every fifth night free 10 nights 56,000 points. I think 5,600 points per night is a good deal especially when the are selling the rooms for about $450 a night for that time of year. If anyone has a better idea please let me know.
Here's a question...with a place like the Plaza that we know is booked solid for Sukkos, how do they work out the people who book with points if there's literally no physical space to put everyone. Normally you would just put them up at a fancy hotel across the street but with the Plaza this is obviously impossible (due to Yom Tov and the Sukka they have and the Hashgocha etc.)
Apparantly there are no blackout dates for booking with points but what do they do if it's actually booked solid like it is.
the rule is that as long as there are rooms for SALE then you may use points but if the hotel is sold out then you cannot use points
in israel not all the spg hotels honor this rule. for example, try booking sheraton moriah tlv for the next couple months-nothing available.but when u call the hotel direct they may very well have a room available. i wonder how they get around it.
The sheraton moriah are a bunch of a**holes! long story short, i stayed there for a shabbos in october and they didnt let me stay till after shabbos because checkout was 12I was under the impression a religious jew in israel always gets checkout after shabbos anyone?
You have to call SPG to book it, but if they are selling a room, you can use points for it.
i tried booking with spg, they told me there was nothing available for the dates i wanted. i called the hotel direct and they had rooms for those dates(at outrageous rates). called back spg, they say sorry but as far as we can see here there's nothing.
If they are selling rooms for your dates on SPG.com then you can book with points. Call SPG back until you get a rep to do it for you.
For which dates is the hotel not bookable on spg.com?
i just checked for july 28-29 room bookable for $300. at the redeem points option it says please contact us by phone, i spoke to a rep who said there's no points redeemable rooms, because they only have executive rooms available.
