You are all absolutely right that the Holiday Gift Catalog is not nearly worth the Marriott Points. Thank you all for the reply. I did indeed go to Best Buy and get the chance to look up the value of these merchandise.

I do still believe that one of the best value for the Marriott Points is the 200K award. It never ceases to impress me regarding how much my fellow FT'ers know about everything and anything frequent flyer related. Thanks again.
