Is award space released the moment you can book the hotel? Same with Chase free night, or is there a delay between the hotel being available for booking and award space being released. Also what is the refundable cutoff date for points, I think I read its 7 days, not sure though. They should increase this to at least 30 days, or I suspect there is a wasted room for those holding onto awards into the last minute.

Did anyone use Chase IHG free anniversary night at this property, long after its stated "valid dates"?
The system allowed reservation with dates after "stated" validity dates, but the fine print kind of contradicts that.
There are numerous DP-s with other properties, where people successfully done that, without any issues.
Trying to find out any DP for this property.
Any info would be kindly appreciated.

Separately, can anyone confirm they're giving the construction-related dining credit to people staying on points? I'm staying in late June, after the worst of it should be over, but before the credit is set to expire.

Anyone has June 3,4 2017 booked and are planning to cancel? Please, please let me know before releasing to inventory. I know a lot of people book the dates and then cancel as the date gets closer and for some reason they can't make it. -Thank you

This may be new? I had written in on a separate question earlier this week and received a response that indicated a 2486 xpf cost p/p for the shuttle between the resorts, with no indication that it was after a certain time. (Separate from whatever the taxi to/from the airport ferry costs.) Was quoted 13560 xpf for r/t direct ferry service to Thalasso from airport.

Yes we also got the 6000xpf per day credit. However they were not applied automatically at check-out and we had to ask explicitly.
