Thanks for your reply, I may try to contact directly and see what they say as I am not a fan of the "oops" either. I am just just annoyed I cannot book with points in this case for the EXACT ROOM because it includes slippers and a robe, so does not even seem to be an occupancy issue here since I can book with points if it's just wife and I. Due to potential language issues I may try the Disoverist line again and see if I can get someone else and as you said as about options. I don't have all the points so want a definitive answer before I top off my WoH acct and clean out my Chase UR points
I did the "oops" in Paris with a Hilton Curio but it was an honest mistake. I booked the hotel before he was born and didn't think about the reservation until we checked in, but luckily I am Gold so they upgraded us to a fantastic suite so understand the occupancy thing
