Going on a trip with friends. I am covering 2 of 3 hotel nights with points. One of my friends (who is obsessed with points) immediately booked the 3rd night (knowing I have a Bonvoy cc) acting like they were doing me a favor bc I’d ‘planned so much already’. Am I being unreasonable to be f-ing pissed?

Edit: we had agreed to split the paid night between the 4 of us on the trip. No one offered to cover my share for that 3rd night. It’s less about the points than the selfishness

Did you raise that to the group? Hey, I'm using my points to cover the 2 nights. Can I charge the 3rd night to recoup some of those points?

Marriot has free 24 hr cancelation so there shouldn't be an issue. Also, maybe reconsider this person's "friend" status 🙃

I would divide all three nights cost and start there in the negotiations

Not sure why you gave up your points for a shared room for no reason. You should have all agreed to pay cash for all nights, you all split the bill evenly, and you keep all your points for yourself for a nice vacation somewhere later. I dont share my points

Or cancel the room with points getting a refund credit on your points, and rebook paying cash. Just explain you needed the points to give your parents a trip to Hawaii for Chrustmas.

They booked the 3rd (and only paid) night of an expensive ass hotel presumably so that they could get the points for it.

I redeemed my points so I don’t get any for the 2 nights that I booked. I had been planning to pay for the 3rd night so I could get the points for it but they beat me to it without discussing…

Are you paying you for the 2 nights you spent points on? If not they should. You covering 2 and splitting 1 with others hardly seams fair for you.

Sounds like you failed to align with your friends on who should lay for what how and why. This is on you. Not them. You're still able to cancel your points reservation and pay cash if you want the points so badly, right?

Confused here

Are they paying? If so, free day for you that outweighs points. If they ask for help paying, then I would understand your frustration

Then I understand and would just kindly say that you already had it covered, and that it is more of a pain to do it his/her way.

Call their bluff and let them know imo

Sort of silly so you all will have to switch rooms on your last night most likely because you will have to check out and then check back in

I wish that was my only worry in life. 🤣😂😅 They should all buy you dinner one night and have you book the last night if you want the points. This really just comes from growing up and being mature. I wouldn’t stress and talk to your friend if you aren’t happy about it.
