Interesting. You may be right about it being a technical issue. I don't recall any promotion where a part of the bill received extra points. Probably hard to implement.

Guests Shouldn't WONDER What They'll Get Upon Arrival

Agree. Not as bad, but reminds me of the Maui Sheraton not informing guests that their pool would be closed and reserved for use by a group.

Doesn't it seem obvious that any hotel that has a...

Zurich... Best Hotel?

There are 2 Starwood hotels... the Sheraton in town and the Four Points which seems newer in the suburbs. Which do you think is best? Saw some discouraging posts for the Sheraton, and the 4P is a...

Probably right. Still, this is pretty excessive. I've stayed at the Ritz in MSY (just ok) and $20k for a 4 night stay is crazy, I don't care how much money you've got. Can buy a car for that. ...

Agreed. Their approach is laughable for such an early stage of software development ("alpha" group).

I've never seen a company charge for help. What are they thinking?

Please Clarify...

Thanks for the update.

I realize that you tried to find a closer alternative yourself... outside of the hotel's effort... when you were put in this unfortunate position.

Very High Pricing

Platinum 500 Point Amenity?
