Chase Visa Points:
I am determining the value of my Fairmont points and how best to leverage them. I am sitting on about 160,000 Chase Fairmont Points (Through spend on the Fairmont Visa card)
If I cash them out into a Gift Card, this equates roughly $1600 USD in value.
If I change them for Ovations (Cat D) 75k per Suite Night

This is about 2 nights of stay.
Since Paris, Telluride, and Barbados Suites are blocked, that defeats the purpose/diminishes the value.
Savoy and Plaza Suites can be redeemed, which runs $1045 GBP (1,500USD) per night. So, the max value I can see getting from my points is $3000 USD?
Anyone have thoughts?
Earning points
Gift Cards
Value of point per spend = $0.01 (5% of Fairmont Spend)
Certificates
Value of point per spend = $0.02 (10% of Fairmont Spend)
Maybe I will redeem 2 Cat D Ovations at Newport Beach and see if it gets me the Penthouse.
