Why not go in multiple good vacations over 5 years rather than 1 overly extravagant one. 200k points is plenty

OP, very risky to wait 5 years

Could be that in 2 years they decide to devalue points (like they have in the past) and nothing you can do about it

Your points will buy more today than tomorrow. Having said that, how long will it take to accumulate 1M?

I feel like it would take a while to hit 1m points, no? How fast did you accrue your 200k , assuming none of that is the sign up bonus? Anyways, I feel like 300k would be good enough for a sweet 2 week vacation

Probably 5 years

Yeah 5 years is too long, go plan something right now

All valid points, now, any suggestions on where I should go?

Somewhere you haven't been before . (I know, very helpful).
