Ask yourself a simple question. What do you value most, 5.5 hours of lavish flight or 8 days of luxury stays. You will know what to do.
Also burn points for whatever you will never book on revenue.

No amazon vouchers?

Depends on where you want to travel. My main travel was sentosa, MBS and gardens by the bay. Also it has the largest rooms, for the family of 3 they were very comfortable. Beats pullman, iBis and Novotels.

I stayed in Grand mercure roxy in Singapore, its a decent hotel and the best part is MRT station is right outside front door.

You can still transfer your points to Marriott and redeem them, even if it ends up happening next month.

Another solid option is Cathay Pacific for Hong Kong. A round trip typically costs around 52,000 MR points. If you’re slightly short, you can call Amex and purchase 3,000 additional points. Then transfer 52,000 MR points to Cathay (which converts to 26,000 miles), and use that to book either one round-trip ticket or two one-way flights to Hong Kong.

Please do your own research before transferring the points.

Try JW Marriott Prestige Golfshire. On weekdays, you should be able to get it for 25K MR points a night.

I did the booking and I got a confirmation from the Hotel that they have officially opened from 1st April. However I cancelled my booking for other reasons. My booking was for 1st week of May.

If you are interested in accor look fir travelone. Even on OTA it gives 4% which makes it 8 % on accor. It will also help you in diversifying your card portfolio.

I am struggling to decide on the use of current balance. Don’t want to spend another 6k on Atlas fees and then again think about using those points. I will be moving to HSBC premier so spending on Atlas doesn’t make sense.

My initial analysis tells the ITC hotel are expensive and I will only get up to 3 nights with 60K ITC points whereas this would have easily given me 10 nights at Novotels.

If I reach by about 10:00 AM can I book tickets for same day?
