I am looking at the "Holiday Inn Rutland Killington Area" in VT, in the OnePass rewards search. I see that if I pay all in cash for the dates of 7/10-7/15 it will cost about $465. If I pay just 10k miles though, and the rest in cash, it will cost me about $271. That means for 10k miles I am shaving off almost $200. It seems like a good use of miles to me. Each additional 10k miles spent beyond the first 10k will only take $80 off the price. Your thoughts? (Dan or anyone else)
PS - I have about 45k miles in the account I plan to use and another 55k in a seperate account. With a Sapphire app pending since Sunday. I also almost never fly....my only travel goal besides a VT/NH road trip this summer is to fly with my wife and daughter to Israel next summer, and that's more than enough time to accumulate the miles.
