Have to make a Marriott Reservation. Getting a $0.5c/pt redemption. Would you recommend paying cash or using points? Thanks!

I’ve got 100,000 AmEx points, I’m tempted to convert to a $1k gift card since it’s easy and low effort. But should I just wait until I have a need to convert to a flight redemption (which I think has the highest value of all other options)?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days.

Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
