Wow, that really is incredible !
I just confirmed 6 nights starting May 11, all for 30K points.
I will just stay in Bucharest for my whole first trip !
Thanks so much for the note !

I didn't see any mention of losing 5000 points with these point breaks rates. It did say in the T&C if I cancelled late on the day of arrrival I would be charged one days stay.....edited...never mind...I see it now in the fine print.

Still a fantastic deal ! You can even buy 5000 points for $50-60.

Called, they said yes sure, done! They did not question about the fare. I guessed the fact that I never called for upgrades or changes helped.

aly

Was wondering where I would stay. Now I know
Booked 3 night 4/10-4/13.Was dreading having to check out on the 12th-since I'm on the 0630 back to AMS. Dread no more.

Lets see
$260 Filght
2 FFN nights at Park Hyatt in Moscow
3(virtually) Free Nights at Intercontinental BUH
Sweeeeeeeeeeet !!!

Now to decide on my First/Only night in AMS(never been there before)
Arrive in AMS at 1:30 pm(4/7)- C&I will take, what an hour, or longer?
I depart the next morning for SVO at 9:35a.

I'm thinking that spending the night in Amsterdam might be tough(for me at least)to get back to the airport by 7:30a.(do I REALLY need 2 hours?)
Am thinking that the Sheraton Schiphol might be a better option(10000 *wood points or 150 Euro). Get a shower after the flight,then head into the city. Not have to stress in the morning if trains run late.

Thanks for Finding/Posting this Savage25-GREAT DEAL ^ ^ ^

here you go https://priorityclub.points.com/purchase/index.jsp

It's simple. To purchase points you must purchase:
* a 1,000 point minimum and a 20,000 point maximum
* no more than a 20,000 point maximum per rolling 12
month period
* in 1,000 point increments for
1,000 to 5,000 points US $12.50 per 1,000 points
6,000 to 9,000 points US $11.00 per 1,000 points
10,000 to 20,000 points US $10.00 per 1,000 points

Purchased the points tonight and it says you'll receive a confirmation email notifying you the points have been posted to your account within 48 hours, so here's hoping the room still available as a reward at that time.

Thanks for sharing the info as I had 2 nights left to cover off after 4 at JW Marriott and the rack rates very steep so this offer of USD$50/night to buy the points a steal of a deal. ^

Always the helpful one, I am

Modest too

Thanks!!!!!!!

I bought the 20000 miles too and hope they post quickly so I can take advantage of this terrific deal.

Will make the stay in Bucharest much easier if it works.

Looks like they caughton to us. The dates that were available no longer are for me. Even before I got the 20000 points. But I hope to be able to use these on another run if it proves out wrong. Or possibly you guys just beat me to the punch.



My bad!! Must have had fat fingers again. Got the points this morning and was able to book 4 nights at the 5000 point level after all!

Thanks again, for solving that problem!!

I don't see the fine print you are referencing. The only relevant statements I see are (emphasis mine):
I don't see anything to suggest that a timely cancellation would cost me any money or points. What am I missing?

Great news for me then; I'll call today as I'm not planning on taking my trip in June; although that PC point deal sure made me have a second thought

MrHalliday

At first I didn't either.
It is buried in the site somewhere else,
and not apparent in the booking conditions
that come up with a booking.

So you might even be able to get out of it
if you need to cancel.

Cant seem to find it now at 4 AM,
but I printed the page out out yesterday.
I'll look again after I go back to sleep...

edit: here it is...

11. Priority Club® members who cancel their Reward Night reservation will have their points used for that reservation re-deposited into the member's Priority Club® account, and may be subjected to a processing fee. Priority Club members who do not cancel their Reward Night reservation by the cancellation deadline and do not use their reservation (no-show) are still subject to a no-show charge for the first night of the reservation, plus tax, per room, billed to the credit card used to guarantee the reservation upon booking. The points redeemed for the no-showed Reward Night reservation will be re-deposited into the member's Priority Club account, except for Priority Club PointBreaks reservations. Cancellations in conjunction with PointBreaks reservations will forfeit points equal to the first night of the reservation. Priority Club members who cancel a PointBreaks reservation will have points equal to the first night of the reservation deducted from their Priority Club account.

Trains do not appear to run late here. (I'm currently in AMS on this deal)

I recommend coming into the city. There are a couple of nice 4*/5* properties that can be priceline'd for $100 +/- $10 per night. If you stick to the city center zone, you'll get something close to at least a tram line, if not a metro stop, although most things in central Amsterdam are easily accessible by foot. Train takes about twenty minutes from Schiphol to Centraal Station, and from there you can take a tram or walk to wherever your hotel is. Or, if your hotel is in the south a bit (perhaps the Hilton), you can get off the train at Amsterdam Zuid station and take a tram from there and avoid going all the way up to Centraal and back down again via tram, unless you want to sightsee from the train/tram window.

I'd go in, especially if you've never been to AMS before. If nothing else, you'll at least get the lay of the land and be a bit more comfortable when/if you ever return for a stay. That's basically how I'm treating my two day stopover here (also my first time in AMS). See a few things, but mostly get a feel for the city and a lay of the land so that next time it will be a piece of cake.

MrHalliday

Sounds like you are already oriented.
