Last Minute Reward Nights will allow Priority Club members globally to redeem Reward Nights at a 50% discount off the regular point price, for selected properties. Members will receive an e-mail on Monday providing a list of hotels where this offer will be available the following weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Initially, this program will be offered on the first full weekend of every month, starting with May 6, 7 and 8, 2011.

The size and color were really over the top and uncalled for, IMO ... a simple bolding of the last part of the last sentence could've gotten the point across without the mess you've placed on the thread. The latter is far more annoying than multiple questions on the same topic - stupid or otherwise

Completely agree. I didn't receive an email from PC about the changes, so I've only discovered today (after not being on my PC over Easter) that the changes have been announced formally and had to go searching for more info. I still can't find anything official from PC about it on the web - only information on people's blogs. Therefore, a bit more civility would be nice. Thanks a lot

So the email regarding Last Minute Reward Nights which will go out on a Monday - is there anything special we have to do to get that, or would you get it automatically if you're signed up to get emails from PC?
