Do you know that you will use the points within the 2 year timeframe?
If you aren't sure you can use them on a reservation within the 2 year expiration timeframe, then I've found that sometimes, redeeming for gift cards or airline miles, while not the best use, is at least some use.
Once you hit 180 posts, you can also post on Coupon Connection that you are looking to trade an award night at a Choice Hotels property for something else.
