A little worse than even with the HIX Clarke Quay if you bought the points for $USD $565, since $169 SGD * 5 is $615 USD... and isn't there tax and service charge?

Does look like a nice location and property, though...

That too. I'm partial to the the Clarke Quay's pool + jacuzzi.

I just went through 140k points in 3 nights in Rome between the IC one night, and the Indigo for 2 nights.

The Indigo was about $700~ USD for the 2 nights, so this would actually offer a great little discount for that, and 10k points to play with.

The IC as well is 50k and going to cost around $350/nt as well. So while I won't buy these points, I won't say it is useless if you have an immediate need to earn and burn.

You need to go thru "special links" to get the 60K. My 60k posted last week

This offer ends on 31st March ie 2 days time. The link below worked for me.

I'm having the same issue as well. No points credited and no E-mail (even though I did track the confirmation number). I'll give it another couple of days.
