I've not previously redeemed points for paying for an ALL booking. From what I can gather you can use points when making the booking online OR pay using points at checkout. If making a refundable booking, you can get your points back if you cancel.
A few questions:
I also noticed some weirdness. Why would the flex rate not allow paying with points yet some packages that are pay at the hotel/cancel free of charge allowing payment with points?


A few questions:
- Is there a benefit to one method over the other?
- With cash you can secure the booking now but pay at the hotel. Can you do similar with points but where the points won't be deducted until you check-in/out? I ask this as potentially want to make two bookings now and cancel one closer to the time. Also, probably change to a non-refundable rate closer to the time if cheaper.
