Stayed last Friday night, certificate in account Monday, booked new hotel today.

This was a "manufactured" stay, we didn't "need" to go to this day trip hotel, but that $84 night got us a "free" $170 night. Weird.

Anyway, haven't even gotten my Chase Visa one yet (January), but can't wait to figure out where to use it. I'm lucky I live in an area of not-that-high-category hotels.
