Need help deciding which is more valuable: 60k bonvoy points outright or converting to 25k AA miles. Even tho I plan to stay in AirBnBs in upcoming vacations, I don’t want to sacrifice value

I mean 25k AA miles spent correctly could land you 5 one-way transcon flights. 60k Marriott spent correctly could get you 12 nights in a Cat 1 hotel. Your call, really...

Flying to Europe with AA is 30K
