That has now gone and you can redeem while booking or while checking out directly through the system.
Agreed. They clearly wanted to cut off any chance of people selling vouchers etc and I do have some sympathy for this. They would become in line with other programs if the use of points was limited to the LCAH account linked to the reservation. I just haven't seen any limitation in this regard in the actual T&C. My doubt is if the actual system allows the charge also from a different account, provided that the member is also there at the hotel.
Anyway, the member must provide a code received by SMS to complete the operation with the points.
