I defintely agree and understand both you and
mahasamatman, but perhaps what works for you
COULD work for me... that is why i started this thread...
3timesalady you've certainly proven your point w/ your experience @ the Westin in Rome... I recently booked a 4 night stay at the Western Cape in CPT and the CSR on the phone said to me while he was looking for differences in fares/prices (i.e. was thinking about using corporate acct etc) "Sir, you have a lot of points, how about using some?" He went on to say that the same room that I am reserving for circa USD $500/night could be mine for USD $60 and 4000 points/night... I declined but hanged up perplexed about my strategy. But then again, the two tix LAX-CDG-JNB r/t on AF in O (biz class) which price out @ USD $8000+ p/p for 120k miles (NW miles) each reminded me about my strategy....
