if you feel that you have maximized your benefits out of SPG's current awards, I would do the following (assuming you are on the road a lot for the next 2.5 months. I would do the Hyatt Gold passport every 2 stays = 1 free night up to five free nights, then do the Marriott Silver promo (doesn't matter that you already have silver) where 3 stays will give you two free weekend nights, the MR AAA promo where 3 weekend nights will give you one free weekend nights up to 3 free wkd nights.. the MR can be double dipped meaning that if you do the AAA promo, the Silver promo will count in with those stays used to obtain the AAA promo of course assuming it is not one long consecutive stay.

Lemmon states that the points are valuable and I don't disagree but the out and out free nights that you can get for such a short number of nights far outweighs the point accumulation. The only reason I think you might not want all the free nights is that you can't use them.

Thats a start.. and thats what I would do
