Nope. But what's the big deal to book until you can't anymore? Its fully refundable

Because then I'm stuck with the points in the account.
I'm only interested in "buying" points if I can get at least 6 rooms...

Ask someone who has points to make sham bookings for you and tell you how many available. Either a friend might do it for free or a DDF stranger might do it for a small fee or some kind of trade or compensation....

I booked a Shabbat at the Stamford Crowne Plaza for the last weekend in April. I did this yesterday, but when I look now, there are no more points breaks available. They have regular reward nights, but not points breaks. Sad.

Usually points breaks sell out within a couple hours for good properties....

I think there's an event there, so you shouldn't have an issue with minyan.

I called them about taking a conference room as I wanted to take 8 rooms with point breakers and they said " you want to come shabbos hagodol? We are booked out for an event..." Then I checked and point breakers wasn't available anymore. Probably because you took 5 rooms .
U can call them to verify.
