I have always found it somewhat hard to use the TYP points so was leaning towards just cashing them out at 1c and be done with the program. The incentive for me here was the 4th night benefit but that isn't as attractive anymore. Also, anyone mind sharing if the Rewards+ card has an option to cash out points at 1c? Thanks!
