Reward Nights Are Changing

[Jacques Vert]

They have gone up, were only 25000 before.

Thanks Markis,

I will give them a call and see if they will honour the offer.

Re: The totally off-topic thread

Was just tasked with booking a hotel room here in Perth for my uncle for 2 nights.

All I can say is...Thank God for PCR Points :shock:

Even though I paid 35k instead of the old 25k rate at the CP, it's still at least half the price of anything comparable. This city has gone mad!

Why dont you ring the PC service centre and re book it at the old rate?

Mostly because it's only 20,000 points difference, it's still a hell of a lot cheaper and finally no one really seems to know if the old rate offer is really a one-time offer or not. If it is, I'd rather use it on myself and get more value out of it than 20k saving.

That, and he rang me from his hire car

Its an ongoing offer rather than a one off, not sure where that confusion is, 20K is USD$120 worth!

The Reward Night chart above is effective January 18, 2012. If the hotel that you originally planned to book now requires more points, simply call the Priority Club Service Center to reserve your Reward Night and ask for the original point price. This offer is valid through March 18, 2012.

Over at flyertalk there are reports that it is a one-off exception rather than multi-use, from those who have rung up.

In any case, the price was more than acceptable to my uncle who was very happy with the rate.

Thats in relation to the service centre claiming any request to stick to their own published rules re awarding points etc is often granted "as a one off exception", they do it to me all the time! I have had a few one offs, in this case its very clear!

I rang the rewards line today and asked about the offer; she said that it only referred to pre-existing bookings.

I said No; the e-mail I got said it refers to any booking made until March.

She checked with her supervisor and then agreed I could have it at the old rate; then quoted me the new rate!

I said NO; and quoted Markis' 25,000.

She checked with her supervisor and agreed that I could have it at 25,000 (but was not happy).

Clearly the offer was a marketing/PR ploy that they are trying to avoid at all costs (or just lack of training perhpas). Either way, we should make them stick to the offer; after all, they made the offer, we are just accepting it.

Ahh.

Well in any case I know it for next time. PC can have the $120 this time, lord knows they've saved my extended family thousands of dollars in the past 12-18 months.

PS Mods sorry, I forgot this thread existed

My least favorite hotel in OZ in terms of ICH group properties, not worth 15K IMHO.
