All the validations fail, even though the values in the params[] are  
valid. Here is the error in the logs, this is very weird frustrating,  
this should be pretty straightforward

rails version 2.3.5

Model =\>

class LoyaltyBenefit \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :merchant

```
validates_inclusion_of :level, :in => 1..3
validates_inclusion_of :type, :in => 1..2, :message => "{{value}}

```

is not a valid type"  
validates\_numericality\_of :point\_conversion\_ratio, :greater\_than  
=\> 0

end

The following should have f.select.

\<%= select\_tag :level, options\_for\_select([[“Base”, 1], [“Silver”,  
2], [“Gold”, 3]]) %\>
