Fairfield Inn or New York EDITION? |
I loved my stay at the New York EDITION and the London EDITION is one of our joint favorites...anywhere in the world. We are hoping to check out the Miami EDITION as somepoint in 2016. I had 65,000 Marriott points in my account so figured that wouldn't be sufficient. The hotel is a category 8/Tier 3 hotel meaning it would normally cost 50,000 points per night. Thanks to Marriott's PointSavers, (a program I didn't even know existed) the hotel is actually discounted for the dates we were looking at to 40,000 points per night. So 80,000 points gets you a $500 per night hotel room for 2 nights - that's basically 1.25 cents per Marriott point - WAY higher than a typical redemption. You can see that the Fairfield Inn is also pricing at 80,000 points for 2 nights yet the cash rate is 50% of the New York EDITION.
I bet you can guess which property we picked. Marriott will even let you book an award stay without sufficient points in your account. In this case I was 15,000 points short but knew I had points coming. More on this in a future post.
Thanks to Marriott for saving us 20,000 points on this awesome redemption!
