Australia where to stay on points?
I have looked at Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, and others and it seems that there are little to no hotel rooms in Sydney, Melbourne, and Cairns available using points.
I am looking at a year out to see what the availability is and we plan to travel down with the family in June 2017. Will it be best to try and lock in rooms with points in July 2016 for June 2017 travel or do they open up more rooms closer to the search dates?
Any advice as to which program I should accumulate points in and the best way to get reward nights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
