Booking a local weekend trip with the wife and I have an option to spend 100k Bonvoy points for 2 nights or use 50k + 1 free night award up 50k. Since my free night expires mid-next year, I should go ahead and use that first before using my points right? Hotel is 50k a night/category 6.

Yes totally. You never know when they’ll jack up point requirements for hotel categories.

Definitely use it. If you’re using the certificate to it’s full value (50k certificate for 50k room) than that’s always the way to go.
