You mean you just hit 50 night? Yea chose the free might. I chose a suite and haven't used them, wasted.

Suite nights are by far the most valuable. The numbers don’t lie (i.e., value of nightly upgrades vs other options). They’re tough to use when traveling during busy seasons but you have a year

I would take the suites

I’m at 47 SPG nights and will hit 50 this week. Suite seems like a nice plan

One free night

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.
