Hi all,
I booked four AXON awards (NYC, Samui, Maldives, Bangkok) before the unfortunate devaluation which burned over 500k points, but I still have roughly 130,000 points plus a weekend free certificate from spending over $10k on my Citi Hilton Reserve Card.
My dilemma is that I want to maximize the free night certificate with an expensive Cat 10 redemption, but I also want to try and leverage the 130k points I have left to get 2-3 nights to combine for a nice 3-4 night stay.
Any suggestions on which hotels I should focus on? Initially, I'm thinking that Cat 7-8 might be the sweet spot to get a decent return on my free night cert and still leverage some nights out of my point stash, but I'm open to any ideas. Also, specific recommendations on hotels are always welcome: I'm pretty mobile and although I mostly travel to Asia and South America, I'd be game to see what people rep. Thanks!
