$20 is $20...
Oh I completely agree. Sometimes its just a matter of the taxes making a difference. For me this year, I dont have any planned redemptions for them and anything local I can do better cash rate so I am just passing on IHG this year. At least for now, maybe by the end i add some but I was comparing the couple places i would use it at and it just didnt make sense for me.
I am really only going to try for busch gardens tomorrow just cuz why not and the Choice and Hyatt points
