I just bought 32000 points through the US Getaway program and I am researching how to get the best value out of the points? What I have found so far is to use the points to redeem hotels in Europe, e.g. Paris.

For example, a night at Comfort Hotel Andre Latin in Paris costs 150 Euros but it is available for redemption at 8000 points!

I personally think it is a great way to maximize the value of points. Please share your way of using the points. Thanks.
