I think they put the wrong currency for the Valet Parking at Intercontinental Jakarta:
Daily Valet Parking Fee: $35,000.00 (USD)
Somehow, I think that should be IDR, or about 4 USD...

Or maybe its just because IHG has 100x the number of properties in China than anywhere else in Asia.
I'm trying to book CP Jerusalem. They have disabled reward bookings for all the nights I am trying.
Edit: They have disabled all reward bookings till after PB list is over. Smart property I guess. Now is HIGH season.

Hotels can't just "disable" reward nights. They get compensated the same for PBs as for any other reward night, and they are required to offer reward availability on at least 5% of their inventory. It could be that those are all sold out, but if you suspect otherwise, you should open up a case with PCR. They will investigate.
Ironically, October 1st can be had for 25k points.
A call to IHG/PC may be needed to find out more information........

Firstly, I do not know what is going on with this property. Shimon has pointed out that if you want any reward nights at this hotel (Jerusalem CP) between now and Sept. 30th 2011, you are currently out of luck. No rooms are available online.

I'd call PCR to open a ticket.

But PC decides if those redemptions are on PBs, or regular redemptions?

In addition to the 3 nights in Vienna South (mentioned earlier), I booked the following PointBreaks nights:
Alpena, MI 2 nights
Charlotte, NC 1 night
Both for Sept travel. Not sure what else I'll book in the future.

Those Jerusalemite deal hunters must be really quick.

I have a question concerning the validation of the pointbreaker programm.
I want to use the crown plaza in Paramus, NJ, at the beginning of october but unfortunately the actual programm is only valid until Sep, 30th. Does anybody know how the extensions of the programm is or was in the past?
e.g. does it make sense to wait for 4 more weeks so that perhaps the validation of the programm is extended until end of October? Or is it the same like e.g. double points, once the programm is extended, it takes a while until a new programm is established.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Sven
