WSJ Your Money Briefing · Best and Worst Hotels for Cashing in Rewards Points · 6 Oct 2017 podcast

These days, it seems your airline miles are buying less and less. voice-verified

But how do your hotel points fare? voice-verified

A new study shows some significant shifting trends with regards to buying power at some major hotel programs, calculating the payback you ultimately get from staying at a major hotel chain, comparing the price you pay in cash for rooms and how many points it takes to book the same room. voice-verified

Joining us now with the latest is the middle seat, Scott McCartney, patching in via Skype. voice-verified

Good to be with you. voice-verified

You note in your piece this study from a consulting firm, IdeaWorks. voice-verified

It really breaks down the payback you get from staying at all these major hotel chains. voice-verified

So we've seen how this goes with airline rewards. voice-verified

In general, are we getting what we pay for on the hotel front? voice-verified

Are we getting the bang for the buck with these points? voice-verified

So these days when we are thinking about where we want to stay, where can we potentially get the most buying power as a consumer? voice-verified

On the other end of the spectrum, what's proven to be the least rewarding with regards to our points and hotel rewards? voice-verified

We're speaking to the middle seat's Scott McCartney on the best and worst hotels for cashing in rewards points. voice-verified

You're listening to Your Money Matters from The Wall Street Journal. voice-verified

Thank you for joining us. voice-verified

This particular study looks at the most basic ways to evaluate rewards, but it's important to remember that there are other considerations with regards to value and rewards and using them to our benefit that maybe this study doesn't account for. voice-verified

We'll leave it right there. voice-verified

Scott McCartney, thanks very much. voice-verified

Okay, good to be with you. voice-verified

Thanks, Tanya. voice-verified
