2 Holiday Inns: 8,000 points
Win Big: 32,000

Total: 64,100, approximately $450 worth of points

I can probably stack these on top of each other and use only 4 nights.
That's a pretty good offer. I value the points at $0.006 so I'd rate it at about $385 instead of $450. Add in the base points, elite bonus, credit card bonus, and other bonuses, though, and you're looking at earning a total of anywhere from 70-80k points. That's up to $480 at my rate or $560 at yours. Do it in 4 nights and you're earning $120-140 of points per night. And yes, it's totally feasible to achieve your goals with 4 nights.
