Ideas for 10,000 SPG points in IL
« on: October 23, 2011, 10:18:05 AM »
Anybody out there have any ideas for how to spend 10,000 SPG points in IL? This for a married couple with a one year old kid, looking for a vacation. If you have any ideas for the couple alone, w/o the kid, you can share them, (they can prob find s/o to watch the child).
TIA

Why not?
How far can a couple go with 10k pts? LAN to cyprus would work, except theres no OneWorld partner. On second thought, Maybe RJ to Cyprus etc?
Or is it enough for 1 night at spg Israel? good luck finding availability if you're talking about this week

I have no experience with this stuff, but I can't imagine that they will.... You'll prob get your points posted back to your account though
