Our Verdict
Last year we saw a five free night offer (up to category 5). This deal isn’t as good as that in my opinion, but if you want to stay at properties that are higher than category 5 it could make some sense. You should also be able to just resell the gift card as well, but you’ll obviously take a hit on that. For now won’t add this to our best credit card bonus page.
