Bali trip through Edge points

[nikhilvaibhav]

Hi All
I am planning for a 4N5D Bali trip in first week of June. Have ~160000 edge reqards points from using Magnus. Was wondering if I could plan a trip mostly using points which can cover travel and stay. Any insights would be highly appreciated. Am new to points game so looking forward to all the suggestions.

The minimum points required for 1 person flight one way would be 25k using Krisflyer (20k miles) for 1 person.
If you are travelling with your partner, consider 1L edge points to be spent in all for flights.
Not sure about stays though.

Hey WhoU, this is definitely helpful. I did a quick check and found out that stay could be managed with 50-60k points in Fairfield by Marriott or four points by Sheraton. I do have club marriott membership courtesy diners black, sp was thinking of using the certificates for 30% off and room upgrade as well. However, tbh dont know how to use them

You pick the hotel and then click on redeem. Coupon code pops up, enter in bonvoy app and price gets adjusted at base rate.
Same goes for upgrade too

If you are planning to book Marriott Bonvoy Hotels using Points, make it 5N6D. No change to points requirement.

Remember that Points Booking is room only booking. Breakfast is generally not included and you will have to pay for it.

Approximately how much would you have spent on magnus so far to accumulate 1.6L points?

And what is the expiry of points?

If you have Hilton points (Amex Transfer), one of their properties in Bali, sometimes has rooms for 5k points per night. Plus fifth night free

 

[bhavik886151]

you required at least 3lk points for 2 person to visit bali for 5D

I guess

Yes.

Do we have to select anything specific? Or by default when I select for 5 nights and select pay by points, it automatically adjusts?

It is by default. No separate setting / selection needed.
