I have a pretty good grasp of my HHonors and Hyatt points, but don't have a good feel for my SPG points yet.

I will soon be staying at the Le Meridien Ankgor (Siem Reap, Cambodia) for my honeymoon. The hotel is a Cat 2 hotel.
I currently have 3 nights reserved (@ 4K per night), but noticed I use the 'buy 3, pay for 2' promo and get the same three nights for $348 with all taxes included.

If I pay, I would also earn another 2K points, so in essence, my award stay would 'cost' me 14K points (12K + 2K I would not be earning).

Also, the paid stay comes with breakfast, the award stay does not.

Which would you do - pay the $350, or redeem the 12K points for the 3 night stay?

FWIW, I'm not trying to requalify for status next year. I got my Plat status with a Status Match.

Thanks for your input!
