Key implication: Hermitage (50,000 pts) includes breakfast via Titanium Elite — removing the practical disadvantage vs. St. Regis. Scenario E (Hermitage + FS) delivers breakfast throughout the stay: Titanium at Hermitage (12/30–1/1) + $150 HoteLux credit at FS (1/1–1/3). · SNAs: If unused SNAs are available, applying one at St. Regis for NYE night (12/31) could secure a suite — most impactful night of the trip.
