Is there a key towards maximizing the value I get, or this is par for the course? I'm not complaining per se, but really interested to know if Marriott points really have much less value.

When redeeming for award nights, do you guys have certain you try to get out of each point?

Thanks,

The travel packages are a great value. I try to line mine up with the hotel points transfer bonus U.S Air has run during the May-June time frame to get the added bonus. Last ime I got a Cat 6 travel package with 120k US air miles and picked up a 60k US Air mileage bonus.
