A number of 235k Marriott Rewards points into 120k AA miles plus certificate for 7 nightstay in up to 5* Marriott Hotel.

Got my 2MM Lifetime Platinum elite on AA quite a lot faster this way.

Latest one I looked up the farthest Marriott 5* hotel, and they have a number of them in Hong Kong, one of which I had stayed in before and is excellently placed for multiple public transport means, so I did that. Scheduled the return flight back really late (with short layover in YRV) so I got an extra day around the city. Also, due to adverse headwinds on the way there (JFK-HKG), the plane was routed by the most Easterly of the four transit routes, which flew East of North Pole, thus scoring my second RTW! ^

(shame that that is no longer available, as Marriott and AA have not renewed their sharing relationship this year)
