Tips for hotel point transfers
Check cash rates first
Compare the cash price to the points price before transferring — sometimes paying cash wins.
Free-night certificates
Annual free-night certs from hotel cards can beat transferring points directly.
Fifth night free
Marriott and Hilton give the fifth award night free, boosting point value by 20%.
Lean on status
Elite status perks can meaningfully raise the value of an award stay.
