Anyone Else Use Credit Card Rewards for Valentines?

Have around 50,000 AAAdvantage miles, so thought I would use some of them to book a room for Valentines.

Found the ideal room, in a private resort, near home, for 38,000 points a night. What a deal, I thought, my partner will love it. Went to check out, and was shocked.

The cost with AAAdvantage was only 15,000 points. So, went ahead and booked 2 nights and upgraded the breakfast.

I wish I had known that the advertised point deals are not the same as the checkout deals.
