Hotels

Compare the final stay price

Add taxes, destination or resort fees, breakfast value, parking, cancellation terms, and location costs.

Points

Compare cash and points fairly

Use the cash price you would genuinely pay, then account for taxes, availability, flexibility, and the value of keeping your points.

Memberships

Use realistic trips

Compare the fee with savings on travel you already expect to book. Do not rely on imagined future use to make the numbers work.
