I'm not a "Marriott guy" (I've got lots of points in several other hotel loyalty programs), but I could use a night at a Cat. 7 hotel. Seems like a bad deal at 35,000 points, but the published rate is high, too (like $300).

I think I've got about 20K Marriott points in my account. Is there any way to acquire the necessary points at a price that makes sense?

Thanks.
