Further to my post above, I'm booked right now into Ritz St. Thomas in early February for 5 nights, using 240,000 MRPs (it's Tier 4, so 60,000 points per night, 5th night free).

I have loads of MRPs and Marriott no longer partners with AA (where I used to redeem my MRPs).

I was curious if Flyer Talk experts considered this a reasonable value/use of MRPs, or am I wasting my MRP points? I'm pretty efficient at using my AA points, but pretty inexperienced with maximizing the MRPs.

I've other accomodations available, just not nearly as nice.

Please comment and thanks!
