Greetings All,

Well, after saving up for several years, I have just made an very large award reservation in Dubai so I can get out of Afghanistan for a while and meet up with my wife who is flying in.

Hilton Dubai Jumeriah Residence
Category 8
8 Nights Stay

2 x Cat 8 AXON Awards = 440,000 points

Cash Cost for Room = 17,760 AED = $4835.28

$4835.28 / 440,000 = 1.1 cpp redemption value

Unless I misunderstand the current redemption values, I think I did pretty good on this one.
