I have ~900k ultimate rewards points and am hoping to use them to take my wife and <6 month old somewhere for a week before Xmas. Because of the baby/covid we’re not too keen in traditional hotels and/or anything that offers higher risk. I’m also sure most hotels wouldn’t want a young baby at their establishment anyway. Any point experts know how to use the UR points to book a house (like on Airbnb or VRBO) but still max that 1.5x benefit for booking travel with UR? Driving distance from nyc

You can also start to use the “Pay Yourself Back” feature on previous grocery or restaurant purchases then just use those statement credits towards anything including booking travel on whatever site you choose (this route gives you the most flexibility - but requires you to have purchases in the pat 90 days to redeem)

The best hotel option for UR isn’t Marriott (terrible ratio) but Hyatt. I’d look at some of their smaller/boutique properties. Cant speak to a baby but honestly a lot of places would be happy to have anyone at this point.

Marriott also has an airbnb-like product. Marriott ran and managed individual units/houses/apartments/villas/etc.

They are a bit pricey from a pure dollars standpoint compared to airbnb, but comparable $ wise as Marriott category 5/6/7 hotels. From a points redemption standpoint its not that bad. The units themselves are beautifully decorated and overall extremely nice
