Hotel Rewards programs can amount to huge savings over time.
But there’s so many, that it’s difficult to choose between which are the best values.
Thankfully, NextAdvisor.com (formerly ConsumerCompare.org) recently released a Travel Rewards Program Analysis. This is based on what programs provided the highest dollar value per point.
Let’s see which rewards programs got the top 3 spots.

1. Starwood Preferred Guest
The Starwood Preferred Guest rewards card came out with the highest dollar ($.021) value per point for hotel stay redemption.
Starwood hotels include luxury brands like the Sheraton, The Westin, W, Le Meridien and the St. Regis.
They will also let you know up front how many points it takes to get a free night for each category. For example, the lowest Category 1 takes between 2000 – 3000 rewards points. While on the high end, Category 7 takes between 30,000 – 35,000 points.
2. Marriott Rewards
The Marriott Rewards progam offers a point value of $0.008 for free hotel stays.
You can easily book a free hotel through their Rewards website. You can also choose from any Marriott brand, including the Ritz Carlton.
In order to determine how many points it will take, you can look at their hotel rewards chart. Overall, it ends up coming out to approximately almost a cent.
3. Hilton HHonors
The Hilton HHonors program is much lower than the first two, coming out to $0.05 per point.
You can stay in any of the Hilton brands including the Waldorf Astoria, Hilton, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites.
In order to redeem on one of their 7 categories, you can use their published rates.
