Yes, in the UK, so parking in Chicago is not a concern, I'm getting to LHR by train, and Aspire card is not in the equation. I'd find having a room until, say 6pm to be a useful bonus, but I wouldn't get to use the bed for my fifth night, it would just allow me to amble without urgency.

It is a Monday check-out, so it's double points + 2000.

Does my 18 points per $ apply to the full room rate, or the net rate without taxes? That possibly makes the equation different.

I'm paying $1154 + tax, so would that be 11,540+11,540+9,232 (80%?)+2,000=34,312? Or $1,354 which is the rate inc tax? I'm struggling a little with the maths.
