And I'll earn my points back at the breakfast buffet
Excellent point, as the recent devaluations of MileagePlus and SkyMiles clearly demonstrates (I was going to include Avios, though that program has some nice perks). I suggest you ride to DPS in style with those points, and burn an SPG cert for 50% off the Lagoon Villa! Killer breakfast, but as noted we prefer the 'hood around the W as opposed to Nusa Dua.

Be well, Jamie
