Id prefer the $100 cheque for a few reasons, 1- Ill get the night counted towards requalifying for my status
2- at present it means losing 20 pts per $ so w/o status pts thats 2000 pts
3- dont have to worry about if theres availability when I want to use it
4- the Cheque is like Cash and you can use it towards meals etc at any Hotel owned restaurant or SPA and not have to be a registered guest.
