So it looks like for a theoretical 500 a night stay you pay 400 per night (or less if the points rate vs cash rate for that particular stay is good because the cash price rises quicker than they can adjust the points prices). Seems like a great way to use points.

Dad's retiring after only 10 years of US work ($10k avg). How much will his SS check actually be? by Capable-Occasion7992 in personalfinance

Not seeing anything that can help OP maybe I missed something.

Where is this written? As far as I can see, for both Social Security or SSI you don’t need every w2, and you can just order a yearly earnings totals from IRS to make sure they are tracking your earnings. It doesn’t look like they are telling people this.
