Agreed with you.

So, I said "Thanks for the card, but I will stick to how we always did".

The membership card is still at an advantage especially when they just adjust their pricing for both Kaha and their membership for 2017.
Anyway,i took some effort to talk to those guys in Formosa hotel. 2017 onward,regular room will still be 460k/night,their newly renovated room will cost 490k (30k more) and weekends will need to add another 50k for the 2 price quoted. Meaning it will cost 510k for their old room,540k for newly renovated room
for weekend (and public holiday).
As for your usual room,the price will be 510k/night, the newly renovated one will cost 540k (30k more) and on weekends (and public holiday), it will cost another 50k more over the 2 quoted price.
Old room : 510k/night
New room : 540k/night
For weekend and public holiday - (add 50k)
Old room : 560k/night
New room : 590k/night
Do note that most if not all of their suite room in the hotel has already been renovated.
Kaha is however one straight price from 2017 onward :
Normal room (deluxe) : 450k/night , weekend 500k/night (public holiday)
Your room : 500k/night , weekend 550k/night (usual was 475k and 525k respectively)
For Kaha,its doesnt matter if the room is renovated or not. One flat price thru all kind of rooms,but members cannot earn points when they book thru Kaha or other online sites.
Remember,i used to pay 460k for your room. And Dec,they wanted to charge me 630k on weekday and 680k per night for weekend. One of my friend went to kaha and got 525k/night on weekday and 575k for weekend while i gave up my reserved room to stay in Biz.
Either Kaha or membership,i know i will still end up having to pay lower price rather than their full price of 630k/680k. But i can no longer get as low as 460k/night flat rate anymore,which by the way isnt a public offer rate. But becos i am going to pay their 'normal' rate,i also get the full membership point value,meaning to say during my CNY 2017 ,i get another FREE stay (my 2nd free stay voucher). And one more trip to Batam after CNY 2017,i become gold member,hehehe...
I win some,i lose some in their new deals and honestly speaking here, this time round, i lose more than i win from my own perspective. A lost is a lost even tho the damage may seems insignificant.
Side note, just for Blackpage :
If you stay for 7 nights in your usual room,it will cost you :
5 weekday nights : 540k x 5 = 2700k rupiah
2 weekend nights : 590k x 2 = 1180k rupiah
Total amount need pay : 3880k for 7 nights in Batam
For Kaha,you will pay 40k lesser per night over the above. Meaning you save 280k if its 7 nights.
Just a draft price gauge for your info.
(i am still on discussion with them on the late check out issue that another bro here encountered)
