What the estimate means
NerdWallet compares cash and points prices for real-world stays and reports a median baseline value rather than a maximized redemption.
50,000 points ≈ $300 at the 0.6-cent baseline.
Reward Night prices can vary daily, and Points & Cash purchases the remaining points with cash.
