posting this here too..as it applies to the palazzo (RA no longer get free mini-bar, instead get $100 mini-bar credit PER STAY)
Confirmation today from ambassador support (took them 3 days to reply )
"In as much as we would like to provide the complimentary mini bar and replenish it on a dally basis, we are unable to as most of our hotels are franchised and are therefore under different management. Please note though that the new policy is only applicable to Intercontinental Alliance Hotels"
So there you go, its official, stay at palazzo or venetian for a week as an RA, and you get a $16.60 daily mini-bar allowance.
The official priorityclubrewards rep still hasn't responded on that thread, do they only look in here once a week or, only respond to simple queries
