Wait to choose my 50 night award. If, in early December, I'm going to make 70 but not 75, use the first award to take 5 elite nights which will get me to 75. At this point, I should be eligible for the next award and I select SNA's or whatever.
If I'm going to make 75 anyway, I can just select 10 SNA's instead of 5.
Am I misunderstanding anything about how this would work? Thanks.
The waiting strategy worked for me last year (2018). I made my 70 night award choice of 5 elite nights after Thanksgiving once I realized I was done travelling for the year and didn't want to MR the remaining 5 nights to reach 75. You need to decide if a mattress run for 5 nights is worth 5 extra SNAs (or another elite choice benefit) to you.
