That's what I ended up booking for my two paid nights - a Sapphire room. I'm hoping at least that "carries" over to our 5 other nights on points.

I did out the math and found it to be more sense for me as I did it. I need to pay for 4 nights and used points for 10. Granted, rooms at IC Tahiti were only $250 vs the $865 (Thalasso) and $590 (Moorea w/breakfast) but by booking them on the weekends at these two I will be able to use at least 1 (hopefully 2) BOGO to cut the price in half.
So for a little more than 4 nights at Tahiti ($1000) I
should be able to "pay" for 4 nights at BOB and Moorea for ~$1400. But by having a few paid nights at these properties I hope to help out my RA upgrade.
Make sense?
