My points posted within 1-2 days.
thank you!

Well I had already done those and so had my wife. She had 600pts in her acct and as said above we transferred them to mine fee free.

Here's what I had to do anyway:

Had 19,250 in my acct.

Did a back door cash&pts and cancel and got it to 29,250 for $60.

Did coke rewards 160 coke pts = 500 PC insta post! Brings it to 29,750

Did one of the surveys I guess I had missed (and had tried all others but found I had done them already, getting this note on each: You have already answered the quiz questions. Thank you for your participation. Keep your eyes open for our next bonus offer!) And brought acct to 29,850.

Found out I can transfer for what I thought would be just $5 to bring pts from wife's acct to mine but it was free when we both called in. She had 600. I now had 30,450.

Booked room at a Boston hotel we want to stay at... every 6 weeks or so me wife and I wish to steal away, leave the kids with family and do a night on the town. I like to use points for this and test out new hotels we have never been to. I have HH, SPG and those PC but had never actually been in a nice PC hotel before. So this was a chance to go to one where we had been to a wedding years ago and wished to stay there! So i chose it. It was 40k pts or 30k + $60.

You could purchase a room from just $243 but that had restrictions on rooms and also big fees to cancel. If you bought a non restricted room it was $320 or so. SO my method of spending just $120 got it done instead!

Needed to set it up now cuz we are doing this in early Feb. And it worked thanks to this thread.

I now have 450 PC pts... in an acct I had not used anyway.
