United is your best bet. Miles worth the most, and have hubs on both ends of the route. Accenture also has a promo with United.

Hotel is Marriott. Not worth considering others unless you plan on using points exclusively in Asia and Europe where other partner chains may be better.

Thanks guys! Is Delta better than United?

Better reliability and general travel experience but United probably has better miles redemptions worldwide.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
