Saying that you are new to points with that many points makes me question how new you are to points

With that many points, you must be Marriott Platinum at least. Call up the rewards hotline and they can help with that.

Also, add a note on ALL the bookings that it's your honeymoon. You'll likely get something nice on arrival. I've been upgraded to huge suites and gotten wine, etc, just for it being my anniversary. Ymmv, but it's worth a shot :) Congrats!

Www.thepointsguy.com is the best resource out there. For the Chase points I would look at United airlines business class rewards availability on Star Alliance Partners. It’s the best and easiest of those points.

Yep very satisfied. They’re consultants too haha so they get us. But very responsive, helpful and knowledgeable throughout process

With that many Skymiles I’m thinking Akron or maybe Albuquerque.......but you’ll have a really nice room.

Which can help me book flights/hotel using my points. I checked on Marriott site but it doesn't show my any suite option using points.

Ditto M1. I stayed at the Sheraton NY Times Square for my 25th and they left champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in my room.

I'd also say check out Flyer Talk. The forums have tons of advice.

I used findmycoast.com to book my vacation earlier this year to Asia... business class and luxury hotels

^A1 - I assume you were satisfied with them? I just looked at their site and sounds like it's worth checking out, only $80 per couple. My 10 yr anniversary is coming up and I plan to blow a ton of points

@D1 new to redeeming points.

Could anyone provide me with a quick analysis on emissions for cars? My country is considering to lower the speed limit in the night to 100 km/h (currently 130 km/h on some highways). I wonder whether this actually has a positive influence on emissions? Because the decreased speed also results in longer travel times. And aren’t the emissions very car specific as well? I can imagine old cars would be more polluting but I doubt if there would be a difference for modern cars? And what about fuel?
