You could churn each card every 12 months. If you got it at a regular offer, you could get 30K per card. If you got it at the higher offer, you could get 35K per card.
Once upon a time there was no 12 month rule either...
Even then, when it clearly has a larger value, how do people justify spending $400 on GC's to stay 1 night at a fancy hotel. $400 on GC's could be used to hit spend bonuses and gain hundreds of thousands of points in different currencies. I just don't get it.
There are only so much cards and inquiries one can have, you know...
Eh... I don't think I'll ever be convinced. GC's and WM are too much work (esp. for an NYCer) just to get a $1-1point exchange.Let's put it this way:If a trip to Walmart isn't getting me a trip to Hawaii, I'm don't want to go.
Miles don't grow on trees.... They grow at WM cashiers.
FTFY at least in central NJ.
Are you a gold member that might help for an upgrade .Try asking for the rack rate and you could redeem 1k starpoints for 50% the rack rate. Or there's a AAA rate on the Starwood site
Does it make sense that the hotel employee needs my starwood password to book a hotel with points?
They need your verbal password but can usually help if you don't remember it. You can also set it up online before calling them.
What's a verbal password?
Something you should have set up online
