I have always thought those that lived in DC and ATL are the lucky ones during FFN! You can generally find a weekend room for $60 (and often less); which is going to be a bargain as long as you are certain you will use them. The best I can do in CLT or GSP is about $80 -

I am redeeming 9 nights in properties of $300 -$500 per; so $120+/- would work for me.

and halothane; great idea about a Park Hyatt redemption. Never thought along those lines, and there are a few that would make a great weekend get-away for us......
