Then, that is one hell of a good return on SPG points, and if that is what one can do with SPG points, then I will start putting some serious charges on the SPG card I recently got after hearing its praises sung by other FTers. There would be more opportunities for me to spend SPG points than to burn airline miles (principally UA) for returns of 8 cpm. (But did
Family Flyer really mean $800 a night or $800 for 6 nights?)
