So how do these travel packages work? From reading the MR site, it sounds like they transfer points to an airline account where they get exchanged for miles?

Reward Delivery Information

1.
Hotel certificate will be issued electronically and will be available at the hotel upon check-in.

2.
Airline miles will automatically be sent to your frequent flyer account.
Is it a one-for-one (1 MR point = 1 Mile)?

Also, WRT this table:
7 Hotel Nights 50K Miles 70K Miles 100K Miles 120K Miles
Category 1-5 200,000 220,000 250,000 270,000
Category 6 230,000 250,000 280,000 300,000
<snip>
How is this interpreted? Does this mean if, for example, I stay 7-nights at a cat 6, it would require 300 points if the airline needed 120K miles? Lastly, is this roundtrip, or do you have to take care of the return on your own?

thanks
