Many hotel brand credit cards offer free night awards.  Most offer the free nights automatically upon your card member anniversary. There is usually a limit as to which properties you can redeem these free nights for.  This post is to ensure, if possible, that you redeem the free night at the highest level property you can so that you can maximize the free night award.  Let’s take a look at what I am talking about…

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.
