Best thing I can think of that the AXON does for you: allows you to stay exactly four nights (not five) at a high-tier hotel in its peak season.
Marginally helpful I suppose. Could bring some long-weekend type trips into play. Cat 10 High Season for 75k/night for four nights instead of 76k/night for five nights. Maybe use it at a W=A where you couldn't AXON before...Grand Wailea, perhaps... That was always 70k/night, right? Make the deval seem a tad less severe I suppose.
I don't stay at Cat 10's but are you saying high season is 75K for a Cat 10 ? I know a cat 7 is 60K peak
As far as the AXON goes it can be in multples of 4 night stays. I'm sure most Florida hotels are peak in March/April. If you stay in a cat 7 for 4 nights you save 50K points with AXON, 8 nights saves you 100K.
Not a bad benefit for a no annual fee card IMO
