JetBlue has a package for $2,893. Four tickets from JFK to CUR with a room. I'm tyring to figure out:
If I pay for 4 tickets :$1,450
If I pay for the Marriott room : $1,748 (cheapest room for 7 nights is $203 + taxes etc)
Use Marriott points for the room if I pay cash for the tickets: 210,000 pts
or I can use the rewards package which would be:
7 Nights + 55,000 Miles for 230,000 pts
7 Nights + 77,000 Miles for 250,000 pts
7 Nights + 110,0 Miles for 280,000 pts
7 Nights + 132,000 Miles for 300,000 pts
I only have 312,000 pts, so a few of these options would nearly wipe me out. I'm trying to figure out what the best use of pts is...or should I pay for the package and earn more pts for my stay?
I have over 500k in my AA account, but am looking to use those for Europe next fall for four tickets. So, the extra miles would help. Although, we don't need to fly first class. Coach isn't an issue for us.
Totally stuck and any input would be greatly appreciated!
