Donating hotel points?

[BamaJohn]

Is it possible that we might be able to pool our individual hotel points to help someone we know who needs help from hurricane "Helene"?  

 

I have some points from Best Western and some from Choice hotels that I'd be willing to contribute, but I'd rather them go to someone we know from this group...and if we could pool points, it might make a real difference. 

 

Not sure how that might work, just seeing if it's possible.

I don’t have any points John, but it’s a noble request. Any public details available?

Marriott allows it

I think it is a good idea John, I just do not have anything to contribute.

Watching this thread...

 

We have a couple of churches in the local area that are making runs with necessities. The church near me is providing the necessities to a couple of food banks in the hard hit communities. I feel better providing support with this type of endeavor when I know the donations are going directly to those in need.

If a BMWST member is truly in need, and the hotel points don’t come together, how about a gofundme  page? I’d toss in a couple bucks.

Do we have anyone in that area?  If so post here.  I will gladly help out as well.

Dunno how well updated it is.

There might be some cheep water damaged ones available soon.

 

Anyway, I got a recall notice on the 1025r, wife asked what it was about, I's like it's a "stop or you will die cause the brakes may fail notice",....uhmm, tractor doesn't go fast enough to be of concern, recall will get fixed when it gets fixed

We just donated to https://donorbox.org/max-velocity-yall-squad

 

It's an effort of two independent weather forecasters to get relief to storm victims.  Volunteers buy vital necessities with contributions and take them to victims.  Pretty direct.  No overhead; and, Ryan Hall has done some worthy work after prior storms.
