I have a slight dilemma. Am staying in 2 rooms at a category 3 soon, and paying for one room (need the night credits). The other room we've cashed in 60,000 points for 5 nights. Husband is in the hoarding mode for a few years (he has about 500,000 so far, joined MR 2 years ago, platinum so he's earning the extra points). I can get the room for $110 gov't rate (husband is military reserves), but it adds $550 to our bill. One the one hand, he's getting more points, but he's not earning any extra room nights since we've got connecting rooms. Is saving that much (or little) worth it? We'd like to use a bundle later for a trip to either a nice Ritz or the Carribbean AI, so saving right now. We need 2 rooms, since we've got two kids, and this Marriott is very nice, but the rooms are too small for 4 of us! I can't sleep in a double bed.

I need to decide whether to change this to cash or use the points.
