Can you ask a hotel to open up award availability?
I'd like to use my IHG points for a stay at a HIX in Montana. The IHG website shows no award availability. This is availability the next night where the published room rate is a whopping $2 cheaper! This seems ridiculous. Is there anyone I can call, like the hotel manager, to ask if they could make an award room available for me on the night I want? Would my status as a Spire elite make any difference?
