He is paying. Points are currency like anything else. You mean he's trying to use a currency within the rules of the program? What an ignorant and utterly useless thing to say. If points are "free" to you, then kindly give them all to me since you think they are valueless.

They actually acknowledged that? It's been the on and off again rule for some time, but I'm surprised they'd openly acknowledge they game the WoH rules so blatantly. Corporate should really crack down. Oh wait, this is a corporate owned property . . . .
This nonsense doesn't belong on FT.

I looked for 10, 9, 8, 7,... nights and was able to find award space for 3 nights (?!?!), booked it, changed it to two nights and got 25k back. HTH others.

It seems like this property institutes a stupid long minimum stay for points, gets called on it every so often and reduces to 3 or 4 nights then when the spotlight is off goes back to an 8-10 night minimum,,,then gets called on it, wash rinse repeat.
