I bit the bullet...

and moved 5,000 Membership Rewards points to Best Western for future transfer to US.  I have to admit, it hurt, since I consider it a $50 hit.  But it will be hit #36, assuming that my back-to-back Starwood nights transfer separately, I get to the W for dinner on October 19, 26 and November 2, and that they all credit successfully.  And that I get four more Hertz hits.  And that I get no "foul balls (hits that don't credit)" with my existing hits...

You see where I am going but, in theory, this should be my most expensive hit left.  But it's going to get ugly at the end, since I'm planning on doing #37 if I don't have 36 in time.  Better safe than sorry, unlike last year, when two hits went foul and I ended up with 35 hits.  Ouch.
