I feel like i always get more spg hotel points than united miles. Whats a better redemption, converting hotel points to miles or booking hotels with points? 60k is 1 night at cat 7 or 1 way to europe?

It depends on the specific redemption. Flight miles are generally worth more than hotel points though.

You can always use the points guy point/mile cash valuations to do the math and see which one is a better deal but also depends on the actual price of the hotel or flight as well. I’ll usually only use hotel points for hotels.

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?

It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
