7x the points

So I am looking to book a hotel for a romantic trip( I am proposing). Now I was going to use Chase UR mall because they have a 5x the points for booking with Hotels.com, so with my CSP that's a total of 7x the points per dollar. Now I ran into a conundrum. I would really like a king size bed considering the occasion but the only way to guarantee that bed size is to book with the hotel directly(It's a Starwoods property). So should I take the 7x points per dollar by using the CSP and gamble on the bed size.  Or book directly through Starwoods but miss out on all those Chase UR points? I can't decide Smiley Sad

Re: 7x the points

Thanks guys Smiley Happy. This time hotels.com only shows a queen for this room. I'm going to just get the points and call the hotel directly to plead my case for a king bed.  Hopfully this will be an amazing trip, and the king bed will just be a bit of icing on the cake

You're proposing.  If the King bed is important/will make it more special, forego the extra 5x points.  Best of luck!

Re: 7x the points

Email the general manager of the property and explain the occasion. Let them know that you would like a king bed and ask them to confirm.
