MARRIOTT HOTELS IN HAWAII (2020) Residence Inn Maui Wailea (Marriott Category 6) 40,000/50,000/60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. $375 per night. Rooms have kitchens and the rate includes breakfast, so that is helpful if you want to save money on a Hawaii trip. WILL I LOSE MY POINTS IF I CANCEL A CREDIT CARD? • THE For example, let’s say I spend $2,000 on a card from October 11-November 5. At one point per dollar that’s 2,000 points. If my statement closes on November 10 but I cancel the card on November 5, I may not receive the 2,000 points. If I wait until November 11 to cancel, I will still receive the points. THE DOWNSIDE OF CASH BACK CREDIT CARDS • THE MILES GENIE Cards like the Citi ® Double Cash Card are particularly deceiving. You earn 2% cash back, but when it comes to redeeming, you redeem at a 1% rate. It still results in a 2% return on your spend, but some of our redemptions, particularly flights in premium cabins, result in a much higher return than 2%. WORLD OF HYATT IN JAPAN 3.4 cents per point. For reference, this rate is in the higher range. Average is more like $600-$800, but even at a rate of $600, 30,000 points would be 2 cents per point. 2. Hyatt Place Tokyo Bay. Category 4. 15,000 points per night.Advertisements
