Radisson Detour

We were supposed to embark on our anniversary getaway on Monday morning, but Radisson's "Big Night Giveaway" promotion warranted an adjustment to our itinerary. Now, we will be leaving tonight to stay at the Radisson LAX for one night before reaching our final destination. While this stay isn't necessarily inconvenient, as it's directly on our path to Long Beach, it serves nearly no practical purpose other than to take advantage of this offer. However, if properly exploited, one can do exactly that: take advantage. The Radisson is offering 50,000 bonus Gold Points (thru July 15th) for staying one night at a Radisson property, which is enough points for up to 5 free nights. Aside from the convenient location, I chose the Radisson LAX because of its affordable price: $89/night. My next decision will be how best to use these points, which never expire, by the way.
