If you wish to redeem Alternative factors on your Most popular Motels & Resorts keep, sadly, award charges are have elevated once more for a lot of properties inside the portfolio.
In Might 2024, you possibly can redeem 25,000 to 55,000 Alternative factors per evening for collaborating Most popular Motels & Resorts stays. In June, award charges at many properties elevated to as excessive as 87,000 Alternative factors per evening.
The dangerous information from Alternative continues, with prime properties now costing as a lot as 118,000 factors per evening, representing a greater than 100% improve within the costs of some properties since Might. Frequent Miler first reported this information.
Curiously, award charges from Might 2024 are nonetheless marketed for six resorts on the Most popular Motels & Resorts touchdown web page on the Alternative Motels web site.
However whenever you click on by means of to guide on the Most popular Motels & Resorts web site, a few of the finest properties within the Alternative Privileges program now require six-figure charges, per evening.

I had thought of redeeming 55,000 Alternative factors per evening for Noku Maldives, however this lodge is now not bookable by means of the Most popular Motels & Resorts partnership. So, given the present listing of properties and their award pricing, I do not anticipate to redeem Alternative factors for any Most popular Motels & Resorts.
As an alternative, I am going to proceed getting nice worth when redeeming Alternative factors for stays in Japan at a charge of 8,000 to 12,000 factors per evening and costly locations the place award prices prime out at 35,000 factors per evening. In any case, award nights at Alternative Motels properties nonetheless value between 6,000 and 35,000 factors in most elements of the world (besides Asia-Pacific, the place award nights value as much as 75,000 factors). I am going to additionally look ahead to Alternative Motels Candy Spot Rewards properties and Alternative Privileges Experiences, as each are good methods to get strong worth when redeeming Alternative factors.
Backside line
Many vacationers are disillusioned on this second award pricing improve in simply three months. However the partnership was probably seeing much more redemptions as soon as on-line bookings grew to become obtainable, and that might have pressured — or at the least inspired — a rise in award charges.
