I have come across another case that looks a bit weird to me (but this is somewhat different from the other cases already reported). This is for Pullman Cologne, Germany. For all room category :
- the 1st rate displayed is a pre-paid rate including 2 tickets to visit the cathedral : IMO, that kind of rate should never been displayed first (like for Sofitel PNH at the beginning of this thread where they were just showing So Gourmet, So Relaxing, etc rates
- the 2nd rate displayed is again a pre-paid one but coming with 800 additional LCAH points. Interestingly, as you can see on the screenshot, you can book this rate even if you are not a LCAH member It is indeed very interesting to earn extra points in a program you are not a member of
- then you have the flexible rate.

So there is no "regular" pre-paid rates (without extra), which is not acceptable IMO as those extra comes obviously at a price in the rate (nothing is free in this world). And on a commercial point of view, do you consider normal to propose 800 extra points for a rate that is cheaper than the flexible rate ? Personally, I don't. Satellite OT question : in 2017, I'd be curious to know if such extra points will be status points or just bonus/award points ?
