Hi Credit Card Experts,
Have any of you successfully booked an economical overwater bungalow in either French Polynesia or a similar location? I've done a little reading, and it seems there are some very nice economical options that are under $500 a night in cash (like the Intercontinental Moorea). Or some OWBs can be fully booked on Hotel/Credit Card points, while other OWBs can't be booked on points. You'd have to book a regular villa on points and do a cash upgrade for the OWB.
What about flights? I hear they are very expensive to French Polynesia, and then some super remote resorts require a $400+ per person seaplane ride to access them???!!!
DH and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this December, so I want to plan something special for whenever we get let out of lockdown. I figure it may be a while, so I want to maximize my options with credit card/hotel rewards while I have time. Is it possible to do this trip economically (like for $5000)? Or am I just dreaming while in lockdown?
Please share your success stories here!!!!
