### User wants to use their reward points to book a hotel stay {#user-wants-to-use-their-reward-points-to-book-a-hotel-stay}

To begin, the user logs into their credit card issuer's rewards portal to explore redeeming points. They choose a 'Travel Partner' to book a hotel stay and are seamlessly redirected through a secure single sign-on (SSO). On the Travel Partner's site, they view available travel options along with their reward points balance.

After selecting a destination and travel dates, a list of hotels appears with prices shown using both points and currency to help the user gauge the value of their rewards. They choose a hotel and room type then proceed to checkout.

The user is presented with two options: Pay with points or pay using points and currency. They opt to redeem their credit card points for the full amount due and complete the booking without any out-of-pocket expense.
