We visited Amsterdam at the end of our ten day trip to Europe. Flights were less than $100 booked with points and eight out of ten hotel nights were free with points. In Amsterdam we stayed three nights free at the Hyatt Regency Amsterdam.

Payton and I spent three days in Amsterdam at the end of our ten day trip to Europe. This was my third trip to the city so we were able to relax a little bit and there was no pressure to try to see all the big sights. This is why I really recommend visiting a city more than once. The second time around is so much more enjoyable!

One of the top places we visited on our European trip was Bruges, Belgium. Just a short train ride from Brussels, this medieval town with cobblestone roads, canals and windmills will soon have a place at the top of your travel list.

Having a stash of points means deciding to take a last minute trip to Europe is not only possible, but it’s totally doable too! Payton and I just got back from a ten day trip to Europe. Our flights were almost free with points and eight of the ten days we stayed were free with hotel points.
