Is it possible to give points to other HHonors members? If so, I would like to put in my application! There are also ways you can donante points to organizations like the Make A Wish foundation, since points can be redeemed for Disney visits. I am saving mine to take my family there, only way we can afford to go. I would love to talk with whoever this might be if you are interested in giving some points to other HHonors members. THanks!</font>
If this guy wasn't a complete pr***, some of us might be inclined to help him with cost-effective ideas for Orlando hotel stays and Disney tickets.

JT: With that high number of points, you could get several very nice travel packages that include enough frequent-flyer miles to get the airfare paid for as well the hotel. Having said that, there's no hurry to use the points. Marriott re-drew their award charts about a year ago and probably won't do another round of devaluation in the next year or two. (JMHO on that bit, but I only mention it because she probably has many other priorities to take care of before redeeming hotel awards.)

When the time is right, and you have an idea of what destinations we are talking about, this board is the place to come for good reviews of the hotels and advice on using the points.

Sorry about your loss.
