That’s like one night at Marriott right?

ANA is probably the best move. That’ll get you two round trips to Europe/Japan in business (with 30k left over) or a single “around the world” itinerary all in business with 80-50k left over depending on routing

The best redemption is always an airline. That Marriott rate is horrible.

200K points is enough for 2 round trip business class tickets to Europe...worth at least $6000 (full price).

1:2.8 on Hilton?

What are your travel goals?

People trash on the Marriott redemptions but I’ve always gotten between 1-2¢ pp when I redeem so I’d do that

EY1 when was the last time you were able to get that?

200k points can get you 3-4 nights in a decent place or 2 nights in a good place. That’s about $750 in my head. Hotels seem more likely in near future than airlines I guess!

200k for $750 value in hotel stays? I’d rather redeem 200k points for $2000 in gift cards and try my luck slanging those on eBay.

...Points guy values each point at 2cent so if you are only getting $750 out of 200k points, that is horrible!
