How To Maximize Your Hotel Stays
00:00:00.000 | If you're staying at a boutique hotel where there's no loyalty program,
00:00:03.240 | there's no elite status, it might not matter as much.
00:00:05.800 | But if you have a lot of status and you want to earn points at Marriott,
00:00:09.340 | you might not want to book a Marriott stay through any of these programs.
00:00:12.580 | But there are some really lucrative options to earn points.
00:00:16.180 | And if you go to Rocket Miles's website, as an example,
00:00:19.640 | has some pretty decent ways to earn points.
00:00:21.940 | I just did a really quick search right here.
00:00:23.800 | I'm looking in New York City for a couple of nights,
00:00:26.100 | and I chose that I want to earn United Miles.
00:00:28.700 | You can obviously choose Aeroplan Delta Southwest.
00:00:31.900 | And it says, OK, I'm going to book this hotel stay for two nights.
00:00:35.400 | It's fourteen hundred dollars.
00:00:37.440 | And I'm going to earn fifteen thousand miles for this day.
00:00:40.540 | Not a bad redemption if you value United points at two cents.
00:00:45.140 | That's a three hundred dollars back.
00:00:47.300 | Three hundred dollars out of one hundred fourteen hundred dollars
00:00:49.980 | is like a 20 percent return.
