Thanks for all the great answers! I suppose comparing different hotel points isn't a direct comparison, but I just wanted to get an idea of how much points you get per dollar spent + how much value you can redeem points for. Wouldn't that give you an idea of % return on the dollar? I know that's simplifying it a bit, but we need to get somewhere after all

And yes, the packages do seem good as it basically turns MR points into miles at 1:1, greatly improving their value. I'm actually considering that option now for upcoming travel
