Thanks K (where you get the time to help us so much, on so many boards, is beyond be but thank you, thank you, thank you!).

Found the itchecques on my own but not the cheaper incentive trip one. My question is that there seem to be times when these are spectacular deals. I'm curious to know if anyone has had any experience redeeming the Suite awards and if there were any concerns or problems.

A year ago, when you could purchase 100,000 Starwood miles per year (200,000 for a couple), I used points to reserve a suite, during Christmas, as the Westin in Puerto Vallarta. I had the points but it struck me as amazing that the room for 5 nights would have gone for $7,500 yet at the time it only required 64,000 Starpoints. Those points would have only cost $2,240! So it raised my antenna about these deals and I'm hoping to find out if I'm missing something.

Thanks again.
