Warning - Newbie question:

What would be the best way to maximize the 35k bonus points for a hotel stay in the nyc area? In other words, I have the 35k points, I'd like to get a free hotel stay, what's the best option?

Thanks

Seems like Darren Rovell would say the St. Regis  ;)

If asked please refer to correct post:

I signed up for the SPG consumer a few weeks before the 35k bonus came out, I am eligible for the 25k, but is their anyway to get the 35k bonus?

Probably not. You can try your luck with them but will likely be a waste of time. This was discussed up thread, if you want more info.

@shulem92 just got 10k from a supervisor, keep pushing until you get it.

I got 1 + 10 so I guess 3 + 10 isn't too farfetched

I have tried, one of the times I tried the supervisor told me they will look into it and contact me if they any more questions for me. Does that mean anything, should I continue Huca'ing?

My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but I noticed that SPG Free Nights are only on lowest type of rooms and any better rooms cannot be paid with points and on top of that are quite expensive. So, is this the case that the only option for booking a "free" room or a room fully on points is the lowest type of room or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

you can book higher level rooms on points, you have to call usually though.

What other card should i sign up for in conjunction with the SPG (since I'm already running the credit)? I already have the personal plat and personal PRG. Was thinking about the Hilton with a higher sign up right now?
