What next?

Wife and I have each done the 5 stays to earn 27,500 AA miles and 2 1/2 BWB stays. Without G bonuses in Illinois any suggestions for the best miles/points earning options for our last 2 BWB stays? (Probably 6/25 Lisle & 6/26 Woodfield using Costco rate + certs & 1w's) Thanks!

Just remember that 1/2 a BWB night is not going to cash out to anything -- so maybe one more stay or 3 should be in your plan, unless you've already got more than the 2.5 on the books.

Our stays this weekend will bring us up to 3 BWB's each. Just wondering what to do now that we maxed out on the AA bonus. I miss those G bonuses!

I've switched all my stays over to Starwood come June 1. Doing the 1k AA miles Sheraton promo and the 3:1 FWN now.

Have you already taken all 5 stays as miles? If not, pick the one that earned you the most points as a points stay and take the rest as miles.

Thanks to those who replied. The UA30K came just in time for our last 2 BWB earning stays this weekend. I see G bonuses are back up July 1. This month my wife and I each had 6 stays at Costco special rate, w/$25 credit, & paid using 1 Costco cert + cash for each : earned 3 BWB stays, 6 1W's, 27,500 AA miles and 1,500 UA miles each. SWEET! Hope to see you at the Chicago DO!
