I value my points at a minimum of 1.5 cents, so 6,000 points, to me, is easily worth $90 in value or more at expensive properties, and often quite more than that. I would not trade them off to save $15.
The 3A rate is generally refundable if the rate drops to something lower before your arrival, so it does offer some flexibility. I was there last week on an $79 rate.
Yah, I figured. Thanks. Oh, what do you mean by "The AAA rate is generally refundable if the rate drops to something lower before your arrival, so it does offer some flexibility?" Do you mean like a BRG where the rate is completely refunded or just the difference?
