Heading to BA for 3 nights next fall. Burned a bunch of IHG points for the IC BA but found that our corporate rate at the PH is $298/night which seems reasonable -- plus perhaps a points upgrade (because I have no real status beyond CC).

Worth it vs burning IHG points (which are from CC 100k and I very rarely stay at IHG hotels so seemed like a good opportunity to burn them).

First time in BA if that's relevant
