What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?
I’m contemplating 40k points vs $168 including taxes at a category 4 location

Each point is worth 0.8 cent

On the surface yes. But it varies based on your status. You have to calculate how many points you will get by paying cash and factor that in. That amount will vary based on the point multipliers in your status.

Do the $168 for sure

That’s a horrible deal, 40,000 points is a lot in general so don’t do that unless the cost otherwise is at least several hundred dollars

Just did 50k for close to 400

Pay the $$

No question the $168 is the better deal.

When is using points the better deal 😩

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
