Om man delbetalar med poäng slipper man tydligen serviceavgiften på hotell där de tar ut sådan.
Let’s take Conrad Tokyo as an example. On the 13th March it looks like this:
Cash rate (Member Best Flex): Yen 34,300 + 9% tax + 15% service charge
Points: 59,000 points
Smallest ‘points and money’ option: Yen 31,375 + 5,000 points + 9% tax + NO service charge
In this example, I redeem 5,000 points and I save Yen 3,188 including tax on the rate PLUS I save Yen 5,145 because I don’t pay any service charge! This means a total saving of Yen 8,333 (£59) for spending 5,000 points. This is an excellent return.
