Our Verdict
This bonus comes and goes every few months, it’s usually only for 300 points so it looks like they’ve increased how many their offering. Eventually you should be able to get enough points for a free night, but this offer is particularly useful for extending the life of your La Quinta points, these points don’t extend the life of your La Quinta points unfortunately.
We’ve added this to our list of free points & miles opportunities.
Hat tip to In A Cents via View From The Wing
For a room that averages $86 you need 6000 points. $86/6000 = $0.014333 per point. This offer is for 500 points, which has a value of $7.17.
Consider the numbers crunched.
For some reason, it will not update my expiry in awardwallet. Anyone knows how to check real expiry date?
The extra points don’t extend the expiry date. The question is how to have it extended?
Didn’t realize this, looks like only a stay will extend the life of points.
The recent several promotions stopped renewing the points. There is a credit card with 20000 points + another 20000 points when spending $10000. Of course, another option is to buy points at $11 for 1000. I’m entertaining the idea of the CC and MS the 20000 points. The price for 4 nights and the ability to renew points would be the inquiry and about $80.
