Mypoints Ritz Currency

Happy Holidays All!

I have a question about the Mypoints Ritz Redemption option. They seem to have $100 Ritz Carlton currency for 11500 points, which surprisingly is the best redemption option right now (in terms of $ value/points).

Has anyone used these? Can multiple GC's be used for the same stay?

Thanks in advance...

Not quite - it's the best option for Americans, though.

The GiftCertificates.ca (Canada) redemption is the best value/points on that site IMHO. 11,000 points gets you $100 CAD of certs - around $102 USD of value.

As I expected, I received my gift certificate from My points and of course there is an expiration date of one year from the date of issue...I have asked to return it. Will be curious to see what they say.

I got 4 $100 certificates - it took about 2 weeksafter I submitted the request with MYpoints. And, yes, they may be used for the same reservation
