Marriott Eliminating Award Charts; Extending Status & Certificates
Written by Anna Zaks @ MileValue
Marriott has announced major changes to its Bonvoy program. There were a couple of good things in today’s announcement, but overall, the changes aren’t positive ones with the announcement that they are eliminating their award chart in March 2022, and award pricing will instead be fully dynamic.
The short story is that award pricing is likely to go up in most cases.

Read MoreHow the MileValue Team Is Using Our Annual Free Night Certificates
Written by Matt Brown @ MileValue
One of the often overlooked benefits of hotels’ co-branded credit cards are the free night certificates that many come with. In exchange for an often nominal annual fee, you’re able to redeem these for a significantly subsidized (read: not truly free!) redemption if you’re able strategize these well.
With many hotel programs extending the expiration dates on these free night certificates, many of us find ourselves with a number of certificates and looming expiration dates.

Read MoreAnatomy of an Award: My First Trip To Florida’s Gulf Coast
Written by Anna Zaks @ MileValue
I must admit, I’ve been to many countries throughout the world, but I’ve only been to Florida once in my life. So between the latest COVID-related travel restrictions that include testing before you can fly back to the U.S., and my need to escape the cold grey Midwest winter, I’ve decided that now is a good time to explore South Florida’s Gulf Coast. I was attracted by the wide, white sand beaches, mild February temperatures and opportunity to book some very attractive properties with points.

Written by Matt Brown @ MileValue
My last trip was February 2020. My wife and I returned home from an awesome week-long stay at Scrub Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands not knowing that it would be our last trip for a long time. We had tons of trips all over the world planned for 2020 that we would slowly begin cancelling one-by-one: 3 weeks in South Africa, a trip to Chile and Argentina, a few trips to Europe, and tons of domestic trips as well.
Like many of you, we’ve been pretty cooped up for the last year or so.
