I was quite a bit less ambitious than CHF (or should I call CHF Obi Wan??) but the F&F rate was so reasonable. I ended up with a Parkview Suite, 3rd night free @ $2XX A/I and still have at least $150+ of certs to use for dining / spa. I saved one of the free nights for a Thanksgiving stay at The Plaza (as it had a 2010 expiration date).

Thanks again for all the advice -- maybe next time I will get a little more bold but it is difficult to push hard when the PL C/S reps are so darn NICE!!! ^
