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.
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.
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
Used free 4 nights in Westin in Maui, it was amazing. Paid extra $80 to upgrade to balcony room overlooking the ocean. Insane value.
Looking to take my family here with my 5 free night certificates. Any more info would be appreciated!
@@Nate40302 it’s really nice! Do it! We did day trips to the other islands. Any specific questions?

Ben, you have tons of experience in this space, so it is always great hearing/seeing your personal experience.
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!
Thank you,Ben. Trying to figure out how to use some free nights recently earned.
Love your channel. Keep up the awesome work! Cheers!😊

This past weekend May 12-13, I used my free night at the New York Marriott Brooklyn Bridge. I had to use 7000 points.
Hyatt should do the “top off” method 😊
Yooooo! Waiting for them to announce that!
IHG. Too. (40k Cert)
@@johnnyh8731 you can top off an ihg certificate
@johnnyh8731 they are already allowing those.
I can actually find some pretty good redemptions in Los Angeles (By the Crypto Center) with just the 40k certs from IHG.
Would it be worth it to pick up all these free night cards?
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.
Do you like the 50k cert or 85k cert?
85k is wayyy better. Its so hard to find a nice resort for under 85k
Of course the 85k. Plus you can add 15k points.
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?
Nope, only works if you're paying with points.
@@PhoenixSniperTTG thanks!
I'm assuming you can book 1 night with the free award and another with cash? You would just have to make 2 separate bookings?
Bro what were you doing at the Courtyard in Fresh Meadows 😂😂😂
Typical tiny New York hotel room! At least your washroom was a separate room!😂
Yep, that is New York city for you
To be fair, Moxys are all more like a hostel than a hotel.
the Marriots and Westin in my area only shows 100k pts minimum... so the 35k FNC are trash

是因為受到中共壓力不做中文頻道和新聞了嗎?唉可以理解
The only marriott cards worth getting is the brilliant and the ritz. Everything else is 💩
