And frankly, though many in this forum seem to be completely blind to it, the fact is you can often get better value booking airline award tickets (particularly for premium cabins) and just paying for the hotel than vice versus.
Scuba, where are you putting most/all of your spend, these daze, to get points/miles in order to book premium cabin airline award tickets?

I gave up my only airline credit card (an AA one) back in 2017, am happy they retro-ed me into lifetime OWE, yet plan to burn through what few AA miles I have left and go free agent on awards, if I can figure out a reasonable way to do it. Sounds like you've broken the code?

Thanks,
