I'm in an Ibis now, which is making me think about stuffing my irritation and taking the plunge into sending them the "documentation" (which is right there in my stay record) which their rep is demanding to validate my points for this.

"Boost" Your Points, or is that more like the New York meaning, as in someone "boosting" your car? As in, "where are my points?" Maybe I'll have them around for my stay a few weeks from now? Dream on. Or maybe I'll just cancel and move on? (No, they're too nice here -- points come second.)

Or maybe I'll just go downstairs and have my complimentary welcome drink. And a small bottle of Merlot.

Tomorrow for the nasty stuff...
