I didn&#8217;t have any more Avios points but I did notice that the AA citicards reduced mileage awards has Miami, FL as a destination during their second quarter (April-June) for 17,500 points RT. After a 10% rebate you get as a cc holder, the total cost would be 15,750 points. I think this is a great redemption considering tickets are going for $400 on AA currently from IAH.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2013\/03\/miami_AA.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-473\" alt=\"miami_AA\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2013\/03\/miami_AA.png\" width=\"559\" height=\"52\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a hotel, she suggested going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.hilton.com\/en\/hotels\/florida\/hilton-bentley-miami-south-beach-MIABMHF\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bentley Hotel <\/a>by Hilton.
