Today I look at my account, and both my reservations say $30/night plus tax, and my points balance is still 48k. (The hotel lists at $130/night, and points reservations are still available.)
Is this normal?
i wouldnt worry about it. Most properties withdraw the points at the time of check in, as long as you have the points needed you will be ok. As for the 30+tax, thats what best western pays the hotel when someone uses rewards points, just enough to cover the cost of the room. The 30 bucks should have been set as a private rate but they will payed by a best western direct bill account
