WoH points can also be used to buy gift cards.
It's a small step, but an exciting one. The linked website references that the properties are coming soon, so if we're lucky, we'll see some onboarding by year end.

If I need two more nights to reach a milestone this calendar year, does purchase $600 of gift cards count? If I understand this correctly, purchasing $600 GC now means:
- 2 qualifying nights in 2023
- 3000 WOH points
When I redeem the GC in future M&MS stays, I will neither earn points nor will the nights paid using the GC be a qualifying night. I guess the additional question here is what if the nights are partially paid by GCs..
Separately, I assume reservations made through M&MS directly with cash should count as qualifying nights for WOH?
