      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...

    Transportation from the airport to The properties are really really expensive what option did you choose and how much did it cost?

    • @Materoosi
      @Materoosi Před 4 lety

      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  Před 4 lety +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.

  • @sunshine0282
    @sunshine0282 Před 4 lety +1

    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  Před 4 lety +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  Před 4 lety +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?
