My question remains: Does booking without point deduction hold award level or does it hold award space only? It is of concern as many level 7 properties will go up to level 8 next year. Also, all properties will have peak/off-peak pricing.
The point award is held at the rate you booked it for but the reservation when the hotel goes up in category will show the new level. You can call in when you have the points and advise the point level you made the booking at. The agent will confirm and either deduct the proper total or refund the difference
