How do you know it includes tax and tip? And how do you know that the package is for two people, I see nothing there that suggests that, other than the comment that tables for two will be set up. Each "package" could well be just for one.

hmm, so not a deal but not as expensive as some others
the wording thew me, IIRC its different than in the past, but could easily be my memory i also dont recall these events not including tax and tip |
Where do you get these? I don't get any of these emails. I'm a Plat cardholder.

It's also typically in the flyer that is included with the bill if you get a bill via snail mail. Understandable if you just toss it!
I've never seen one of these "deals" that is an actual deal. Clearly these are a profit center, not a benefit. Plus if you use points, they really rip you off, something like .75 cents per point. |
