Do I go with the cat 1-5 and save the extra points for something else, knowing that I have more flexibility regarding hotels to choose from, or do I go with cat 6 seeing as the value of this category could go up post merger, albeit at the risk of less availability?
I have until t-minus 1 hour until midnight GMT to decide!
Many thanks in advance
