I think that is the only option. I have 12,000 points and dont get anything other options. Actually, mypoints usually shows all possible awards, whether you have the points or not, so I dont think there are any better rates for higher points for Marriott Reward points. Sorry. Perhaps marriott would be kind enough to arrange with Mypoints another option?? Are you listening? would mentioning that hilton is 1:1 help, or hurt, I still haven't figured out what to think of that.

I agree, a 5000 for 5000 award would be nice.
