🏨 Miles2Go 30-Day Challenge | Day 7/30 Where can 1 LAKH Amex points take you in hotels? 5 nights at a Luxury Collection resort in Agra? A hillside escape near Bengaluru? Or even Bali? You might be surprised by how many nights 1 lakh Amex points can unlock when you look at the cost of an entire stay rather than just one night. Let’s put those points to work. 👇 🧮 First, understand the conversion: 1,00,000 Amex MR points can become: • 1,00,000 Marriott Bonvoy points • 1,50,000 Hilton Honors points And here’s where it gets interesting: Marriott gives you the 5th night free on eligible 5-night award stays. No elite status required. Hilton also offers the 5th night free on standard room reward stays, but you need Silver status or above. Now look at what that can get you. 1️⃣ Mulberry Shades, Nandi Hills 🇮🇳 5 nights for 92,000 Amex MR points! • 92,000 Marriott Bonvoy points • Nights starting around 21,000 points A Tribute Portfolio resort tucked away in the hills near Bengaluru. 2️⃣ JW Marriott Golfshire, Bengaluru 🇮🇳 3 nights for 90,000 Amex MR points. • 90,000 Marriott Bonvoy points • Five nights would cost around 1.2 lakh points. 3️⃣ The Westin Goa 🇮🇳 3 nights for 85,000 Amex MR points. • 85,000 Marriott Bonvoy points • Cheapest window: 30 May to 2 June 2027 The catch? These are monsoon dates, so make sure the timing works for you. 4️⃣ Le Méridien, Kochi 🇮🇳 5 nights for just 45,500 Amex MR points! • 45,500 Marriott Bonvoy points The lowest-points five-night stay on this list. That’s less than half your 1 lakh budget! 5️⃣ ITC Mughal, Agra 🇮🇳 5 nights for just 80,000 Amex MR points! • 80,000 Marriott Bonvoy points • Around 20,000 points per night A Luxury Collection resort, with five nights costing well below 1 lakh points. 6️⃣ Sheraton Kosgoda, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 5 nights for 88,000 Amex MR points. • 88,000 Marriott Bonvoy points A beachfront resort on Sri Lanka’s south coast, known for its turtle conservation setting. 7️⃣ Weligama Bay Marriott, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 3 nights for 98,000 Amex MR points. • 98,000 Marriott Bonvoy points A beautiful coastal escape, although this one uses almost the entire points budget for three nights. 8️⃣ Le Méridien, Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 5 nights for 88,000 Amex MR points. • 88,000 Marriott Bonvoy points Five nights in Kuala Lumpur, with points left over. 9️⃣ Hilton Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 5 nights for approximately 53,500 Amex MR points! • 80,000 Hilton Honors points • 5th night free included, assuming eligible standard room reward availability and Silver status or above. One of the most interesting redemptions on this list. Five nights in KL while retaining a substantial chunk of your Amex points. 🔟 Hilton Bali Resort 🇮🇩 3 nights for approximately 76,000 Amex MR points. • 1,14,000 Hilton Honors points A Bali getaway without using your entire 1 lakh points balance. 🏨 A few more worth checking: • Hilton Luxor, Egypt 🇪🇬: 3 nights for 1,20,000 Hilton points (around 80,000 MR). • Conrad Bali 🇮🇩: 3 nights for 1,41,000 Hilton points (around 94,000 MR). • Conrad Pune 🇮🇳: 3 nights for 1,20,000 Hilton points. • Hilton Goa 🇮🇳: 3 nights for 1,25,000 Hilton points. • Hilton Garden Inn Bali Airport 🇮🇩: 5 nights for just 56,000 Hilton points (around 37,500 MR). 💡 The bigger takeaway 1 lakh Amex points can potentially get you: • 5 nights at a Luxury Collection resort in Agra. • 5 nights in Kochi for less than half the points budget. • 3 nights at JW Marriott Golfshire. • 5 nights in Kuala Lumpur. • Even a three-night stay in Bali or Luxor. ⚠️ Before you transfer: • Marriott and Hilton rates fluctuate depending on dates and availability. • Check the full stay on the hotel website before transferring points. 🎯 Now let’s see your finds!
