FAQ

How do I factor in elite choice benefits?

Estimate the cash value of suite upgrades, free breakfast, or confirmed certificates you expect next year and subtract it from the net cost after running the calculation.

Do award nights count?

Only some programs count award stays toward elite requalification. If yours does, include the nightly value of points you will redeem as part of the promo credits field so the net cash reflects their cost.

What about opportunity cost of time?

The tool focuses on cash outlay. Layer in your own hourly value or alternative trip costs separately when deciding if the mattress run is worthwhile.

Additional Information

  • Include taxes in the nightly rate if they apply to your qualifying spend.
  • Point rebate percentages vary by program—convert expected points to cash value to personalize the estimate.
  • Certificates that cover entire nights should be converted into dollar offsets and entered in the promo credits field.
