Interesting Observations:
About 65% of my stay activity is with Hamptons and HGIs. However, since I started the program, my spend per night has increased by 45%. Economy is doing better, rates are rising, etc. With that, the award points per night have increased by the same margin.
I redeem 1 award night roughly every 8 paid nights. I'm content with that ratio considering the lower-tier hotel paid nights (HI&S, HGI) and higher-tier award nights (WA, Hilton).
