That’s kind of funny if you think about it that your 50 night Milestone Award could have a later expiration than your 60 Night Milestone Award. I’ve always tried to delay hitting 60 until late December so I can use the Cat 1-7 in June when the kids are out of school.
My wife's birthday is in January, and targeting 110 nights this year, so I'll have 2x 1-7 certs to use by like March 31st or so. Gonna give Miraval a try for our anniversary 2025 - doesn't really seem worth it to go hard after those milestones unless you know you'll do Miraval. But we're for sure not "$1500 per night" hotel people, and even the points redemptions are $1,000-1500 per night worth of points - ain't gonna try it without the extra night awards, so this is the year we're making that happen.
