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.
What is the regular point per night for your dates? After the last devaluation, it is usually better to NOT use the AXON reward. I have tried a few different dates at Hilton Dubai Jumeriah Residence and they all show up at 50000 points per night for standard reward room. If you just book a regular 8 night (with the 1 night free) it actually shows up at 348,000 points for the 8 nights. It will save you almost over 90K points.
