I am heading back to St. Petersburg, Florida once again for a spring swim meet for my daughter. You can read here about how we saved $900 on the flights. As for the hotel, we are staying at the Hyatt Place, the same hotel we have stayed in previously and where much of the team stays. The hotel was 12,000 World of Hyatt points per night, so in total 48,000 points for our 4 night stay. This room would have cost about $252 per night, so the room would have cost about $1,000 had we had to pay. Now lets see how I did in my value calculation here. World of Hyatt points are valued at about 1.7 cents per point. So the value of points that I used for this stay is about $816. The stay would have cost $1,008, so I gained a bit of value using my points! It doesn’t always happen like this, but when it does, I am quite pleased.
