Similar to BCG1, I only redeem if I'm getting more than 2.5 cents/point, so I'd value them at at least $300. Don't forget you're also losing the points you would have earned had you paid cash (but not the platinum amenity or MAGC points).

Depends. I've redeemed 4K pts for a $350 room, and 20K for a 500K room. Usually see 10K rooms going for ~$300, but with cash and points can drop to 5K + $75. So it's not a precise science. Normally 4K will get you a $150 room.

*20K for a $500 room

$300 or so

2.5 cpp is a pretty reliable valuation. I usually only redeem above 3.0. So $300-360.

True about not earning but that's always the case, assuming you eventually redeem them. It might matter if a 2x promo is expiring or something.

$200-$240 buck. One night at a Westin.

I redeemed 9k pts per night (~$1400 CAD per night) at the westin whistler

How much cash do you keep in bank accounts? I have 50% in RE, 25% in market through retirement and education accounts and 25% in cash. Always think it’s too much cash but have never been able to gather courage to put more than 25% in market which I already have through 401K and 529. Any ideas on what to do with money just sitting in the bank earning no interest with 9% inflation eroding the value every single day

Is this reasonable or am I missing something?

I started maxing my 401k from year 1 and I hope to have $5 million or more by the time I retire around 60. Wouldn’t it make sense to put all of my yearly $19,500 401k contribution to ROTH 401k instead of traditional 401k?

My reasoning is that I would pay 35% tax now and my remaining 65% would grow tax-free in ROTH 401k…. versus traditional 401k where I deposit 100% but every distribution will be taxed 35% assuming I make a lot in retirement.

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.
