If you have managed to successfully use that many NUAs, then that's amazing! Love to hear about it.
Hah, I mean I get 5 from 50 nights and 5 from 75 nights and I've burned through them. I have no trouble getting very good value out of them: sometimes it's a luxe stay (RC NoMad on the high end, or the specialty suites at the Drover on a weekend), but often it's just for single-nighters at hotels where I very much want a suite with a separate bedroom so the kid can sleep in the living area (the Sheraton CDG, Sheraton AMS, and Marriott FRA come to mind as examples where the extra cost of the suite vs a base room can be at least $200-300/night). I would gladly pay $100 per NUA to get more, but the $60k spend on a card I don't have is probably not practicable for this year at least...
