Awesome deal that I paid without a thought!
I suppose, but I would have asked for a complimentary upgrade due to status. By rule, you're entitled to an upgrade on the club floor (without club access, though sometimes they give you access). If they said no, then I would have probably paid the 5,000 points as I probably could have gotten $50 a day in food and drinks out of the lounge, presuming the wine was decent and the food at night could compensate for a dinner.
I also would have pushed for a suite upgrade.
