I really like the points & cash deal. I don't mind spending a little cash and saving my points.

I like points and cash.  I use up points  almost as soon as they hit my account.  The cash addition allows me more nights without mega, mega, bucks.

if points & cash is used: (1) are 'points' awarded for the cash portion of the points & "cash"? (2) is 'credit' earned for the stay?

KORNFESI  posted a question that was never answered.  I also would like to know:

 

If points and cash program  is used,

(1)are points awarded for the cash portions that was paid.

(2) Is credit earned for the stay, Is it considered a qualifiying night?

 

Somebody please  find out and answer.

Thanks

1) No

2) No

 

Points and Cash is just a way to inexpensively purchase an extra 5K or 10K points per night to apply to the award night cost. As such, normal Award Night rules apply.

 

You can, of course, earn points for incidentals on such stays (except at ICs).

 

"

  1. Priority Club Rewards "Points & Cash" is an option for obtaining a Reward Night. You may choose to redeem Priority Club points for a Reward Night in three ways: using your existing points for all required points for the desired Reward Night; using your existing points and 5,000 points purchased for US $30 to total the required points; or using your existing points and 10,000 points purchased for US $60 to total the required points. Points & Cash Reward Nights may only be redeemed online at www.priorityclub.com. Point purchase amounts are subject to change by PCR. You must use a valid credit card for points purchase. Upon completion of the points purchase, you agree that the total dollar amount will be immediately charged to the credit card you specified. The cost for the points purchased is non-refundable. If the Reward Night is cancelled in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and with each hotel's cancellation policy, the purchased Priority Club points will be re-deposited into your Priority Club Rewards account. Cash components of this award that are paid in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be adjusted by Priority Club Rewards, as needed, to reflect the USD equivalent of the non-USD payment at that time. All other Reward Night terms and conditions apply."

Thanks for posting highered - and you are correct - the night purchased with points and cash does count as a reward night so all reward night terms and conditions apply.

The Points & Cash PR campaign is prevalent in email and sponsored advertisements I am seeing on websites like FlyerTalk.

 

This is a seriously flawed marketing campaign.

 

Every Points & Cash link I check takes me to the same page telling me they are my points and now I can redeem them faster. Great.

 

There are no details on the Priority Club Points & Cash description to explain this option to me, the Priority Club Rewards frequent guest.

 

How is a general Priority Club member supposed to learn about Points & Cash?
