Thank you all. Here is the final result.
I did follow most of the advice given here. I have changed my phone # of record with Priority Club. Hopefully, if someone calls and represents that they are me, they won't have the correct phone #. I have changed my online PIN. I checked the promos thread and signed up for every promo that looked like a possibility. I have a record of what happened and when I phoned PC to notify them of the reservation error.
This was a 4 night stay at a Holiday Inn Express in the USA.
Today (5 days after "I" checked out) I received over 15,500 points. Ironically, that'll be enough points to push me up to Platinum status this year.
Now I'll just have to watch my account to be sure no one else tries to redeem "my" points. Because PC sent me an email notifying me of this erroneous reservation, I'm hoping that the same will happen again if someone makes a reservation using my points. Another tip-off would be if I were to see my PC account balance suddenly drop when I check AwardWallet.
