A guest booked a three-night hotel stay at $800-900 per night using points that covered only one night, then charged the rest to a credit card already carrying thousands in debt. The trip cost over $5,000, raising questions about whether points are worth it when you're paying interest on the balance.
We booked the trip. I used credit card points that only covered one night because we booked, like, the bougie room on the beach with the balcony.
Did you know that?
What?
Like, oh, we're going to use our points. It's going to pay for one night, and we'll have to figure out the rest.
Once I started, like, looking at the hotels and it was one of those high weeks, you know, where all the hotels are more money.
So what'd you do?
I booked three nights at the hotel. It was like 800 a night, 900 a night.
All right. Pretty expensive. Yeah. So you got one night covered and then two nights on the credit card. Card? This credit card, did it already have debt on it?
A couple thousand, maybe. I don't think we use the credit card. A crazy amount. It was mostly.
Cash or debit.
The airline and the hotel was on the credit card.
How much did it end up costing?
In total, it was over $5,000. Maybe closer to seven or something.
It was probably like eight. Yeah. We found everything in. Can't move forward if we're not honest about what the numbers are. The numbers are the numbers.
