200k points is a lot to think about...
Ask them to book you elsewhere and give points
They’re also required to reaccommodate you at a nearby hotel. The question is, is 200k points + Free hotel stay worth more than you staying at the Ritz? If this is for personal i’d jump on it
Isn’t the policy that you get 140k and $200 per night plus booking you elsewhere? 200k seems very low if so.
It’s in the regulations that they owe you a rebooking elsewhere.
Is this NYC for next week? Prices are mad
PA Society is this weekend, hence hotels are insane
Free points is nice if you can find a different hotel. You can always try giving them a counter offer.
Are you platinum? If so, and they refused to honor your reservation, they’re owe you 140k pts * 200 cash. The offer is on the ballpark, so depends whether you prefer cash, points, or a room. What’s your fall back on rooms?
OP I just got the exact same email (probably the same hotel too) . I think it's worth it since if you ask more they might just pull the offer and ask someone else. It's also not THAT much nicer than other options in the city.
