I was pleasantly surprised this week when I went to book my incentive stays at GCH and the Concierge Collection choice of either SFO Fairmont or Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.
When I talked to MS about the GCH 3 night stay they asked for my dates and asked which view I wanted. They said I could have any view as all were included in the promotion. The only thing not included was concierge. So of course I booked a DCA or pool view for September which was worth 123 points.
Next I asked about booking the 2 night Concierge Collection incentive and was transferred to a different MS agent. I chose the Fairmont in SFO as we live only a couple of hours from there and really wanted to take in a SF Giants game. So I was able to book that for a stay in May and was told that we would be in a Deluxe room and there would be NO $95 fee as this stay was complimentary. I was very pleased with how this worked out and found that this stay would have been a total of 88 points.
Now I know the 7 night RCI voucher may not end up being such a great deal but we'll see what happens with that over the next 18 months.
I chose WDW ap's for the ap incentive and figure those are worth about $800. I had the option to rewrite my contracts 200 pts. (4 x 50 pts.) with the new offers that came out the 1st. I figured it all out on paper. We knew the cruise dates would not work for us so that was out. The $16 off per point seemed good on paper but we would have no points to use until October and the other trips we received and the ap's were very enticing. So we received the above in addition to $7 per point off.
So I feel happy about the decision and feel it was worth attending the event. Make sure you ask for the best view available when you call to book your incentive stays.
