Editors book dream work assignments and personal trips, using credits and perks to enhance their experiences. Hotel rates start at $70 or 26,000 points per night, with some bookings requiring over 500,000 points. The trips promise a break, but also require planning and strategy to maximize rewards.
Authenticity is scheduled by time slot, with editors booking specific hotels for their amenities and locations. Relaxation requires planning, as editors research and book hotels months in advance. Escape needs Wi-Fi, as editors document their trips and share their experiences online.
