Park Hyatt Buenos Aires (Palacio Duhau) prices around 25,000 to 30,000 points a night against $400 to $600 cash. Park Hyatt Mendoza in the wine country runs lower at 20,000 to 25,000 a night. The card's anniversary free night covers either property off-peak. Both are flagship properties where the cash rate has not caught up to the points chart, which makes Argentina a strong points play.

Local tip

What to know before you book.

Argentina has a parallel exchange rate (the blue dollar) that has historically been 30 to 80 percent better than the official rate. International credit cards on tourists now route through a tourist exchange rate that closely tracks the blue dollar, so paying by card is no longer a bad deal. Avoid Dynamic Currency Conversion at checkout.
