This is out of topic but there is news out there that Singapore Airlines is talks with both Airbus and Boeing to place an order for 50 Airbus A350-1000 or Boeing 777-9.
Just to clarify, the comments about the perks mentions that you can be both Bonvoy silver and Bonvoy platinum as long as you are a card member. I assume the latter is a mistake?
Oh, bruther... if you thot Amex Brilliant was weak-sauce, Boundless is true churn it n' burn it. Lame 35K certificate (even with adding your own 25K points, best you'll get is like a Four Points by Sheraton off I-95.) Then there's the lack of any meaningful status (Gold? Psh. Free WiFi. Yay. Late-checkout? Nice try. 'If available.' Breakfast? No way, loser!) "I value Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents each"... Oh, Ben, may need to update that; feels like closer to 0.5 these days. Move over Hilton/IHG. (By the way, this was my more polite draft.) Just say no.
Can we please get an article with the "best" redemptions for these free nights? I have them sitting in my account but not sure where to best redeem!
Didn't Ben just do an Ask the Community on that topic? He's probably working on an updated post.
From my experience, it really depends whether you're looking for domestic or international redemptions. Obviously, most folks want to do better than the 0.7 cents that Ben values them at (so, like better than $595 cash value for the night.) I tried to go for the aspirational properties. So far, I've my 85K certificates plus points for stays at the St. Regis properties in DC and Deer Valley, Utah (that one was my favorite); Ritz-Carlton properties in Portland, Oregon, and Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. Each time, got a room going for at least $600+. However, it's really become more and more of a chore, lately, though. I'm ready to close the card, honestly.
We need to lower the value of Marriott points to $.005 per point. I can usually find a $.007 value 10% of the time. I know you make your money referring credit cards, but we need to be honest with the valuations
