I have about 50k Amex gold premeir rewards points that I would like to use towards a vaction. Looking around and reading reviews it seems that this card is not as good for vacation rewards as I originally thought.

I have looked on amex.com and they have some decent deals that I can book though there, flight & hotel. Looks like I can get a good chunk of change off of the total price. But I then look around and I see some lower deals on sites like expedia and kayak.com. What would be the best possible way to use these points towards a vacation?

Thank you.
