Complete guide to Credit Card Points

Hotel Reviews. Maximize your travel. Minimize your spend.

From luxury stays to airport stopovers, here’s where our family has stayed using points—with reviews, photos, and booking tips for each hotel. I personally love keeping a list of great places to stay using points and miles. It helps me plan my trips quickly. I hope something on my list inspires you to use points and miles for your next trip.

  • HIlton Resort in Georgia with Pool

    HIlton

    Redeemed with Hilton Honors points and Amex Hilton cards. Hilton Honors points come from our Hilton Aspire cards, plus bonus points from work travel and promos. Hilton’s flexible award pricing means we look for high-value redemptions during peak demand—like birthday getaways. We love using the fifth-night-free benefit on longer stays and stacking Amex Offers to earn even more points for future adventures.

    Cloudland Resort in Georgia

    Hilton Bentley South Beach

    Pre-Cruise stay in South Beach on Hilton Points Read the review

  • Hyatt

    Smart redemptions with World of Hyatt points and Chase Ultimate Rewards. We earn most of our Hyatt points through the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase World of Hyatt credit cards, often transferring Ultimate Rewards directly to Hyatt for outsized value. Hyatt’s award chart is one of the most generous, making it easy to book family-friendly hotels, luxury resorts, and cruise pre-nights with fewer points. We love stacking promos, using free night certificates, and booking off-peak stays to stretch our stash even further.
