I have had a Starwood card for a few years now. We recently went to India and used our Starwood points. Our experience was much more than we expected! All of the hotels were exceptionly good and came with a full course breakfast.We feel the value was excelant. We used points for some of the hotels and partcial points with $45 cash per night at the Sheraton in Jaipur.
GOOD VALUE !

Any credit card can be used to pay for Cash & Points. I paid with a MasterCard last night.

I do not think there is any issue with 2 kids, but perhaps a call to the hotel or book via SPG customer service is best when the website isn’t letting you book the room in the way you want. I nearly always travel childless so that is not my area of expertise.

I have run into problems before trying to book with three adults. Extra charge in many cases.

Checking for booking cash and points, they seem to specify 2 adults only; but the rooms are showing with 2 double beds. Is there real enforcement when kids are along?

Does the cash portion of the cash and points have to be paid with the AMEX card? Or can any card be used?

Great blog and wonderful article. When everyone raving about this card promotion, a right article to give people some realistic feeling about these credit cards.

Hyatt is the best in terms of promotions recently and their credit card will have some great redemption value for sure. Let’s wait and see and let the war continue.

Thanks for the informative post. So much is said of the airline mile redemptions for these points. It is really interesting to get a value view from the hotel redemption side.
