    Used free 4 nights in Westin in Maui, it was amazing. Paid extra $80 to upgrade to balcony room overlooking the ocean. Insane value.

    The problem with trying to max out the value of fnc is the additional costs of resort fees and parking fees of higher end hotels. You end up paying $85-$120 in cash for these “free” night certificates.

    We used 4 free nights in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Moxy. The beds were rock hard. The Titanium breakfast benefit was okay. Poor man's W.

    This dropped at the perfect time for me, I have 5 50k night certificates to burn and New York City was a location I was considering. Thanks!

    Used my free night in an AC Hotel in Boston for a staycation New Year's Eve, which turned out to be an awesome time. Luckily it fell under the 35k threshold.

    Did Marriott devalue the points? I feel like I was able to utilize my 35k pt certificate in more places in the past.

      I think so, they get rid of their award chart so now everything is dynamic pricing

      I stayed at a Moxy in Norway once. I think that vibe feels kind of sleazy. Kind of a lounge lizard slime.

    I’m assuming no, but does redeeming 4 free night awards get you a 5th night free, as redeeming 4 nights worth of points would be?

    • @PhoenixSniperTTG
      @PhoenixSniperTTG 6 месяцев назад +1

      Nope, only works if you're paying with points.

      Usually people go on vacation to other places, not just staying in their hometown. You’ll have to goto another area where they do have 35k night hotels bruh
