Two free nights and 45,000 points for $15,000 spend and all credited within days.
Man, this is what I really love about this forum ... thanks for digging up my earlier musings and thanks especially for confirming that they were accurate. I was literally just now trying to decide if it was worth doing the $15,000 spend on this card, and was worrying that there would be no way to know whether it worked until a couple months into 2019. So this report is much, much appreciated. Thanks.
