To get 100k bonus on double base points would require $10k worth of stays.
I understand that there are some who may not be able to use a free night during the redemption period, but with the forgoing assumption, for most people the buy 2 get one free hamay be the most lucrative promo ever (which may justfy some cynicism on availability).
What if you registered for NEITHER promo for the first 2/3 of the promo period (all the while earning regular points and bonuses) and then with a few weeks to go(assuming you could fit the 8 nights into that time period), you registered for the free night promo maxing it out?
I might be explaining it badly but hopefully someone will get my drift.
