Seems like I can never get good redemption rates with Bonvoy points and after a year haven’t been able to use much. Saw that you can sell 100k points on eBay for about $700 after fees...worth it?

That’s not a bad rate if you can get it

Seems doable by looking at the sold listings on eBay. Didn’t realize you can transfer up to 100k points per year for free.

You can get rooms for 60K that cost that much per night, why wouldn’t you keep them?

I rarely find the need to justify spending $500-700 a night on my own dime. Maybe for a honeymoon but I’ve already done that.

The only way I’ve found value has been overseas, but I don’t travel that much internationally anymore.

Yeah, Marriott points are worth like 0.8¢ a piece. Getting 0.7¢ cash value is a really good deal.
