The 50K free night cert covers a Marriott Copenhagen or Renaissance Copenhagen on most non-summer nights against $300 to $450 cash. Gold elite gets you 2 PM late checkout, which matters in Copenhagen because most museums and central neighborhoods are walkable from these properties and you can use a slow last morning before a train to Sweden or Germany. The 6x earn rate at Marriotts compounds well on a multi-night base in the city.

Local tip

What to know before you book.

Copenhagen is a bike-first city and most hotels rent or include bikes. Skip the rental car. If you are continuing to Sweden, the Oresund Bridge train to Malmo takes 35 minutes from Copenhagen Central and a 1-day return ticket runs about $25.
