# Vienna, August 2025

*1 night in 1 hotel, 2 days.*

## Short answer

Vienna in August 2025: 1 hotel night for $0 paid, against a documented comparison value of $150. We used 5,000 points and miles, 3.0¢ per point on average. Anything paid in cash appears without a comparison value. The comparison value is not money paid out.

| $0 | $150 | $150 (100%) | 5,000 |
