I knew all those Starpoints would come in useful eventually.
I'm planning on roughing it as much as possible during this trip, but I think it'll be okay if I splurge for a few nights. The W Sydney is going for A$580/night (US$400) during NYE. I'm sure I can find better places to spend $1,200, but for 30,000 Starpoints, why not?
