I am in a pickle. I just can't decide what sort of hedonistic experience I want. I am in HKG for one night only and haven't stayed at the W yet. It is currently about AUD360 a night which is to high so I can only afford to stay with points.
I currently have 19000 SPG points that would easily give me my one night.
BUT I could also turn these SPG points into 25,000 AA miles and then buy miles for $400 and have just enough for an F flight on QF back to MEL.
Adding to the confusion is that I have 18,750 BMI points waiting to be used and there is availability in J HKG-SIN-MEL with SQ. The down side of BMI is the cash co-pay and taxes that will make this option about GBP250.
So, I could stay at the W and get an SQ flight home for about $400 or fly QF F home direct for about $400 plus pay for a night (prob Langham Place).
What do you value spg points at? Is 12,000 SPG points good value for the HKG W? Does the W do last minutes rates?
