Just keep in mind you'll still probably do better on travel if you're traveling.
I transferred 22k points to Singapore and got a summer flight that would have cost over 1k.
Singapore Air is great way to travel, although they raise the miles redemption value but still good, used to be 68k for Business from US to Singapore and 120K for First class, now they do 95k for Business and 200k for First each way
Was this recently by any chance? Curious if deals like that still exist or at a time when hotel points were less devalued?
It was 3 years ago, but that particular hotel is still at 5k points a night. Most of their tier 1 (5k pts) have been bumped up to tier 2 (8k pts) now, and they also do variable points, so I am seeing 9.6k pts for those hotels on certain nights. Definitely not as good as it used to be.
Is it on special? 22k points is a great deal! round trip?
One way. Not sure if it was a special. It was JFK-FRA. Wife and I usually try to fly cheap and spend while we're on vacation. We used 100k points to get 2 rt tickets (out on United, back on Singapore). RT non-stop (we've got limited time and didn't want to do an Iceland stopover) on a non-low cost airline were pushing 2k each for our itinerary.
