Using Rewards Points
I am curious what it means when I look to redeem points at certain hotels rather than the standard response of how many points the stay will be, it instead says something to the extent of "Rewards Stay"*Upgrade Fee*, then a dollar amount. This is in addition to the points being used. It seems like this happens in resort type hotels. Does this mean that you cannot redeem at these properties without paying money in addition to using points?
I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, or has an obvious answer.
