I would think that my last question would be better answered by the people on this thread. I know most of you probably use the points for high priced rooms somewhere and your status helps make your stays even better. For someone who would not earn 50k, and has no status, what would be the best use of these points?
Am i better off just getting the airline bonus, or is there a good alternative use for them. (example: can they be used for rental cars or something else at an exceptional, or even average, redemption rate?) or are they just used for marriott room redemptions by everyone?
