Hmm... Ok now that I am the proud owner of a 4 night Ren stay, I looked at the TOC. It seems that I get a 4 night certificate for up to 60,000 points a night.
I wonder if we can use them at any brand as long as it’s under the 60k. It seems in the details that they put a value depending on the certificate. So I was looking and if I book far enough in advance I can get some pretty nice hotels in Europe for 60k a night. Even my cat 7 Rome vacation is less than that.
I was thinking about trying to get the points instead but 4 nights is a perfect vacation for my 9 year old son and I to leave the US. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means), but it will be awesome if I’m not limited to REN properties.
Thoughts?

Imagine that back in the day when horses were a really, really big deal to most everyone, and you gave one of yours as a gift to someone (wedding present or whatever). And they immediately started checking its teeth (looking it in the mouth) to see just how old/healthy/valuable the gift horse really was. Pretty ungrateful, no?
Congrats, btw!

Tax should be around $330 for that winning! Still worth paying for getting 4 free nights! Better find a hotel that is normally 200-300 a night to make it worth your while! You can refuse to accept it if you don't want to pay the tax!

The confirmation email followed last night. The prize is valid for the Westin brand, i.e. the brand that was featured in the game the day I won.
To claim the prize, it is necessary to (electronically) sign a fairly comprehensive agreement, allowing the promoter worldwide use of one's name etc.

Congrats to IMH and NJKen. Assuming IMH is in Germany and NJKen is in NJ, or at least the US, and other anecdotal evidence, it still seems more likely winners outside the U.S. are dong better than us here in the U.S. Still, NJKen is keeping our U.S.-based hopes alive!
Only 50 point wins for me so far...

I love useless information like this. I felt silly the other day after I told my son to get his elbows off the table and he asked why is it not proper. I had to google the origin and I was amazed of the reason.
