What a (possibly) sneaky promo!

Look at the dates when you'll be able to redeem the free night, and compare it against the last 2 years' winter promos.

The last two years, award stays in December and January were reduced to 10000 points for all hotels.

Well, look at when the redemption period for this "free night" will be (unless you do both nights fairly soon)? December and January.

So if that's how the redemption works out, and if they repeat that promo, this "free night" will only be worth 10000 points, unless you happen to use in the week or so that's beyond December and January (those two months being about 62 days, but the redemption period is 70 days, so about one week out side that 10000 point period probably.
