Bonus Points Packages (from Rewards Club Update Thread)
£19.40 for 5000 point bonus package per night, plus the current 2x promo, very easy. At that price the points are worth pretty much what your paying for them

I found it quite easy to get to the Spire threshold this year in the UK using the bonus point packages. It helped that I was staying in cities with Indigo hotels which were cheap in January and February, and Indigo allows the purchase of 5K points per night as part of the bonus packages. Hotel prices seem to be creeping up now, but there are some good value ones if you do stay in hotels in the UK.

When calculating how much the bonus package costs, I compare the total cost of the rate that includes the bonus package to the total cost of the rate that I would use if I didn't get the bonus package. Is this the best way to think of the cost of the bonus package?
As far as I can recall, every time I made this comparison, the points were too expensive to be worth it. (However, I do not recall making this comparison during a promotion that increased the number of points, such as the 2x promotion.)
