This has happened to me multiple times, and I’ve had to call MHC to have them remove the extra points that were deposited into my account.
What you may be thinking is this: if you book a Points Advance to lock in the current rate and the property later changes categories, then try to add a SUA, the system will reprice the reservation at the current category. However, if you keep it as a Points Advance, wait for the category change, and then fund it at the new rate, you can add the SUA at the current market rate because the reservation has already been funded at that updated level. Go back through your reservations for points advance that were funded after it changed categories, MHC will add in additional points to your account.
Best,
well I’m surprised at getting points back.
but I’m not quite following you. If you fund it at the new (post category change) rate, and then cancel, you are just getting the points back you put in.
Did you really mean fund it at the new rate?
I know you can’t apply a SUA to a points advance reservation prefunding.. At least MHC told me so on more than one occasion.
