Our 2023 Bonvoy Redemptions
While we spent fewer nights on Leisure Travel in 2023, we were able to find some great redemptions throughout the year.
As with all my redemptions and cash reservations, I regularly review them to see if the price has lowered. Using this strategy, we were able to find great redemptions at both the Renaissance Glendale, AZ and the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa.
