How this list works
Every hotel here is bookable with hotel-program points (some also via an Amex or Chase card credit — shown per hotel). “From” is the lowest standard-award night we’ve found in the next year; award space and rates move daily, so confirm your dates on the chain’s own site. We rank by guest rating, then by the cheapest points. We don’t take affiliate kickbacks — click out and book directly. Open any hotel for its day-by-day points calendar, or see them all on the map.
