Free night posts as 8,000 bonus points added to your account. Earn a maximum of 24,000 points through this offer.
What is the conversion rate between points and miles (or in the case of Southwest, credits)? I'm just curious as to how many of either you can get by staying 3 times through this offer. (By comparison, Choice Hotels has in the past year had an offer where through bonus points added ostensibly for the purpose of equaling a free night after 2 stays, it equated to MORE THAN double miles/credits.)
