Know where your points come from
A single stay can earn points several ways at once: base points on what you spend, an elite bonus on top, more from a co-branded credit card, and extra from any promotion you registered for. The earning calculator shows each part separately, so you know what to expect before you book and can check your account was credited correctly afterwards.
Spend them where they go furthest
A hotel point is not worth a fixed amount. The same 40,000 points might cover a $150 room one night and a $400 room the next. Comparing the cash rate with the award price, and counting the points a paid stay would earn, shows whether a particular redemption is a good one or whether you’re better off paying and saving your points.
The points value tool puts a dollar figure on your balance, using a range from a poor redemption to a good one. It’s a quick way to see what your points are worth before you decide how to use them.
Rates and point values come from each program’s published terms and redemption surveys; About explains where the numbers come from. PointsCalc is independent and is not affiliated with any hotel program. Always check the program’s own terms before you book. See the disclaimer.
