There isn’t really a way to pay for it with points besides booking with your card and using your points to pay for the transaction.
And that would be a very low value redemption that I would advise against.
Booking with Airbnb giftcards would be better here.
You can buy them from an office supply store for 5x via Chase INK or at a grocery store if you have a card with a good multiplier.
You can also book through the British Airways Airbnb link for 2 British Airways Avios for every $1 spent.

The Qantas website is really bad, and using a desktop is only a little better.
The app is awful.
It’s so frustrating dealing with this in Australia.
Call them if you have the patience, and don’t pay the “points service fee” since the site isn’t working.

We cruise 4 – 6x a year!
We have 4 booked as of now but may add a 5th this week!
Also make sure the card you pay with has travel insurance included.
I usually use Chase Sapphire Preferred, INK, or Capital One Venture X.
Opened a new Chase INK to pay the deposit on our summer cruise!

Probably going to be hard to find a good deal so late but start searching and then once you have found something transfer the miles.
You can also pay someone to do it for you.
I believe Point.Me offers a paid booking service for $200.

I recently negotiated with a regular car (Chevy) dealer to let me pay $5k fee-free by credit card and the remaining balance by check.
That said they both drive Teslas and their sale process is very corporate/impersonal, probably not any flexibility for this kind of negotiating.

Yes!
We flew into Liberia and spent several days in Tamarindo.
Beautiful little beach town- highly recommend it!

Lots of Kosher dining options at American Dream Mall.
There’s a bravo pizza. Great pasta and salads.
Hummus Bar is pareve. Love their hummus bowls.
Chickies is meat. Chicken sandwiches, chicken bowls etc.
I didn’t think anything was crazy overpriced I go often as we live pretty close and have never gawked at the price but I may also be oblivious lol.
You also have Goldie Lox downstairs but not in the food court.
I think the options in the court are a decent variety if you’re looking for a mix of milk and meat.

Book via the major companies’ .mx sites and the mandatory stuff will be included.
Decline the rest in person.

Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Ink Preferred both offer 3x for flights booked direct, along with any other travel.
Amex Platinum offers 5x for flights booked direct and I have not heard that is changing.
Is the change only to the Amex Gold?

Don’t do Excalibur!
We booked it on Groupon and the room was disgusting.
Pretty sure previous guests used the curtains as a toilet.

Try to find a luggage repair place near you.
Here in Tucson, a luggage store also repairs them.
BTW, they told me they rarely replace these in-line wheels but replace pretty new spinners all the time.
The spinners are way more exposed to airline abuse, plus people rip them up on cobblestone streets and other uneven surfaces, and they work so poorly on those surfaces, so people tilt it over and put all the weight on just two wheels, which those wheels were never designed for.
I just bought new suitcases from that store, with in-line wheels, but the selection was poor;
She said all the manufacturers are pushing the spinners.
Good repair business for her in the future.

I had used Amex in general more so than any of my Chase cards while out of the country.
This is whenever a merchant accepts Amex since not all of them do.
I found the exchange rate from Amex is better than Chase.
I am sure this is anecdotal but that has been my experience.

I booked WestJet through Delta and it was great.
Only issue was I had to pay the bag fee.

I second Secrets Moxche.
Also, Secrets Riviera Cancun is attached to Breathless Riviera Cancun.
Secrets is the quieter side and Breathless is the party side.
Both adults only.
