Chris Hutchins and his wife Amy Fox discuss how they booked a last-minute trip to Bora Bora that would have normally cost over $20,000, by using points. They managed to get about a 65% discount on the dream trip, but later decided to switch resorts and pay more.
“I just got back from an incredible vacation to Bora Bora in French Polynesia.”
“It all happened last minute, but we managed to book a dream trip that would have cost over $20,000 almost entirely on points.”
“They would typically be valued at about $7,000 or less, which means we got roughly 65% off.”
“And then three nights in, we walked away from that deal.”
