Been wanting to post this one for a month but it was the least time-urgent…yada, yada, yada…and it had to get in line behind other deals. For those with stacks of Starwood/Marriott points and expensive taste…
What?
You’re going to have favorable prices available for award stays.
Where?
In fancy schmancy category 7 SPG properties.
When?
From August through the end of the year.
Why?
Because of merger and chart changes.
How?
If you have enough points (and time), the best way to play it will be a 5-night stay. In August, when this becomes available, you’ll be looking at particularly nice numbers for 5 nights…
Category 7 SPG properties will work out to be 16,000 Starwood points per night (or 48,000 Marriott points). It’ll be a very good opportunity if you’re looking to stay somewhere nice during the last 5 months of the year.
