Our Verdict
Points seem to be worth 0.75¢ – 1.5¢ towards Sonesta properties depending on the location and date. Properties cost between 10,000 and 50,000 points per night with most properties costing anywhere from 10,000-30,000 points. Unfortunately you need to be logged in to do any award searches. Still good be a good offer if you don’t mind the somewhat targeted language and have a good use of the points. Standard bonus is 80,000 points. Read this post about things you should know about Barclays before applying. We won’t add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses due to the targeted language.
