Yesterday I checked out of the Seattle Renaissance and used a gift cheque for part of my bill. They deducted the amount from my folio and took away the corresponding points. This is the second time this has happened to me at this hotel. Thinking about this, it makes absolutely no sense. If I had gone down and said I wanted to apply a $50 bill to my account, would they have deducted those points? Anyway watch out for this practice.

(Well, that's gift certificate or guest cheque, whatever!)
