Questions:
1. If we check in Jan 1 2022 but have paid the trip in December 2021 will that suffice to keep status as I am unsure if the new points get added on to the 2021 points ( and does it double due to the promo) OR
2. should i check in December 30/31 but will end up checking out in 2022, will that count ?
or are we out of luck.
Thanks - been on hold with ALL for 20 minutes to try to get the answer.
Is it really that bad if it doesn't count until 2022? If the stay is going to cost 9,000 Euros, that would give you 22,500 status points next year, which will get you to Platinum anyway, and then you have a head start on the year and are just a short stay away from Diamond. I guess it would mean you wouldn't be Platinum during the actual stay itself, but I'm not sure you're really losing out on much by staying as a Gold member.
