And if he pays cash he can get triple points during this summer's 3X points promotions, plus a 50% bonus on base points for a gold member, so 35 points per dollar spent. Plus 14X more points per dollar if using the Aspire card

I will definitely consider it. Thanks for doing the calculation.

E.T.A.: That didn't take long. Rate has already gone up to $130. I can't find a better rate to do a BRG on, either.

Whereas I will book the room that I’ll be happy with, then any upgrade will be a bonus. 😀
