Anyone successfully book multiple rooms with points? Perhaps even at a discounted point rate? (I.e thing booking rooms over a weekend for wedding guests)

Random thought.

Multiple rooms yes, discounted points no. However here is a tought... Points bookings are generally handled centrally so while you probably won't get a volume discount on points you might be successful in asking for the hotel to do a points rebate if you manage to book x rooms for y number of nights each.

Ambassador does this for me. Also requests dual upgrades and rooms next to each other, shared door, next to lounge etc.

Do it every year. No problem. Never asked for a points rebate though
