Been out of the points game for a while. Have CSR (and other Chase cards). What’s the best value I can get for redeeming several hundred thousand points? Transfer somewhere (usually stay at Marriott, DCA has lots of airlines)? Redeem for travel through their portal? Use to pay myself back? Thanks in advance!

I would do this
Find a decent flight to somewhere and stay in a nice hotel

I also would suggest Pay Yourself Back if you don’t have a major trip in mind. Don’t forget to combine your points if you have other Chase cards in the program!
