I just completed a stay of 4 nights - 2 rooms and used points to pay, my question is that I just got a ***t load of points credited to my PC account. The amount of points seems about the number I would've received if I had been charged $ for the rooms with bonuses. I called the hotel and they said they didn't charge me for the rooms, they used the points. It sounds pretty strange to earn points while spending them but maybe someone here can enlighten me. Thanks for any help! </font>
Happens to me about 20% of the time (I've redeemed about 12 nights over the past three years in HI Exp, HI and once at a Crown Plaza. There doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason. I treat it as a pleasant surprise (Heck, it put me over 60K for plat this year!) Anyone know why it happens sometimes?
