My wife is an event planner so this information is not from the expert but the apprentice.
You must indicate the intention of points in the initial contract. If you are paying for the event as opposed to doing it for business, we recently received a flyer about a savings of up to $5,000. Tried the internet site for this deal - wouldn't work. 1-800-886-5056, meetingrebate.com. Good luck.
And hey, BARACAR, we do our best but max at 50k. Were you on a double date?
