We are headed to London for a FREE 5-night stay at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London. We are taking advantage of when booking on Bonvoy points, you get the 5th night free. For this stay, we are using 294,000 Bonvoy points for 5 nights or 73,000/74,000 points per night with the 5th night free!. This stay had we paid would have cost $4868 for the stay on the day that I booked it. Bonvoy points are valued at about .84 per point so here we are gaining value as we are using $$2470 worth of points for a $$4868 stay.
When I booked this, I dis not have all of these points in my account. But back when I booked, I was able to book using a points advance and get the points in before. I was able to transfer the points into Bonvoy as both Rob and I have cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points that I can transfer to Bonvoy and we both have cards that earn American Express Membership Rewards that I can transfer to Bonvoy so it is always pretty easy for me to get Bonvoy points when I need them!
