We only have a week and a day for December break 2016, so planning really big trips like I have the last three years to Israel, Hawaii and Costa Rica are a thing of the past for now.  This year, we are LA bound!

I just booked 8 nights at the SLS Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Beverly Hills (SPG Category 6) using 165,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points.  We got the fifth night free using points. The room would have cost $490 per night ($3,920 total), so I consider that a savings of about $3,900!

Recall that I usually have an abundance of SPG points because I usually convert my Colorado timeshare options into SPG points.  I also stay at Starwood Resorts a lot and always use my American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card for any incidental hotel charges.  On these charges I earn 2 points per dollar with my Amex plus 3 points as a Gold member, so I earn 5 points per dollar on all of my Starwood charges.

A huge shout out to CINDY GREENSTEIN, aka The Points Mom, for helping me book our flights to Greece using points. Money wise it would have cost $12k. I learned so much from her! Contact her. You will not be disappointed.
