Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a very strong offer, especially for those who value flexibility. While we just saw the 5 Free Night Awards offer expire, which technically had a higher ceiling of 250,000 points in value, it came with the restriction of using those certificates within a year and finding specific 50k-point-per-night availability (plus 25K top-up).
The new 150,000-point offer is easier to manage. Since these are points and not certificates, they never expire as long as you have activity on your account, and you can spread them across budget stays. Plus, the $125 statement credit effectively wipes out the annual fee for the first year.
As for the spending requirement, make sure you can comfortably hit that $8,000 in purchases over the next six months. The 5 Free Nights offer had a spending requirement of $9,000.
