Hotel - buy Intercontinental Ambassador - $200.
Buy points @ $0.007 per point. use 50K per night for IC Thalasso.
PPT - doesn't matter.. IC there is fine, points or pay.. it's like a regular priced hotel.
Any reason why you are spending 2 nights in PPT? most people spend 0 if possible..
Good point, I thought Tahiti was worth checking out, I am fine doing 5-7 on BOB.

I thought 50K pts was the max purchase amount per calendar year?

Edit: nevermind, found the 0.7 cent trick, thanks!
