I can use my 18,800 points & £65 to get the hotel at Flamingo and then the flight at £640. So £705 total. So in effect I would lose 23,800 points for £73.
I will be booking a flight to PHL in January so not sure whether to use my points for the hotel or keep them so thought I would ask on here.
Is there even a need to ask?! You'd me mad to chuck away 24,000 points for the sake of £73. Basically they would allow you to pay £3-400 extra next time you go and fly in business class
Welcome to FT by the way. If you stick around you'll find a lot of ways to turn that 23,000 miles into much larger than 73 pounds worth of savings!
