      just looked it up for 3/14-3/19/2020, as a platinum member using points with the 5th night free, the room featured in this video cost 555,000 points (or $1,000+355,00 points)... and also $745 for the seaplane (only available during daylight hours) per person, and $5.60 per kilo over the initial 30 kilo for luggage.... not going to be cheap... If you don't have a saturday within your stay period, it's only 540,000 points. note, the package that includes food is not available using points...

      Just as an example I was quoted $ 1,724 round trip transfer for 2 people from Male airport to Waldorf Astoria Maldives . Conrad is less expensive but not cheap by any means $1,180 for 2 people round trip transfer . Not sure if anyone has different ways around this .

    • @AskSebby
      @AskSebby  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There's no (economic) way around this from my research. You can charter your own boat but prices seemed equally pricey.
      We used points for the resorts but we're eating the boat/seaplane fees. Breakfast would be another one but it can be dodged with status.

    Prices are usually higher on the Amex booking website $10 or more. Even when you use points for these vacations, you still had to spend a fortune to accumulate enough points to pay for them. Anyways enjoy!

    • @AskSebby
      @AskSebby  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Intro bonuses offer outsized value. Most people hit bonuses by paying rent/tuition/business expenses (i.e., Plastiq).
      I'm probably heading back to the Maldives in a year or so via points (Conrad, Hyatt, JW/Ritz this time).

    • @AskSebby
      @AskSebby  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Zero reason to book on the "Amex booking website" since this is a terrible use of points. General best use is transfer partners (i.e., Virgin Atlantic via 30% promo for ANA First class).
      99% of the time, it makes zero sense to transfer Amex MR to Bonvoy; maybe top off?
