I'm seriously contemplating this card for my trip to Europe in 2015. Current rate for a hotel I'm interested in (Amsterdam City Centre) is 30K and $70 USD/night or 343 euros/night ($484/night) This equates to 60K points + approx $280 CAD including the AF . So in my books, 2 nights using cash and points would save me:
$484/night * 2 nights =$968 - $280= $688.
Please correct me if my math is wrong.
