My wife and I were looking to redeem an award and the place we wanted to stay showed availability of only two room types for the nights of my stay: two single beds, or a one room suite with one double bed. Standard rates (at the conversion rate the Choice web site is using at the moment) are $511.63 to $629.93 (first night/second night) for the two single beds, or $2,957.42 per night for the one room suite. Each room type was listed as available for 16,000 points per night. I can't imagine they actually charge people $2,957.42 (nearly six times the regular room rate), but I don't travel in those circles. The property does have a non-suite double bed room (only two rooms left!) available for the second night of my stay.

I reserved the one room suite for two nights using 32,000 points. Should I be nervous about the reservation being honored? It will certainly blow my budget if they decide to bill me over $5,900 for a two night stay!
