I have an upcoming stay at a Courtyard (no choice in property for this trip). I used to be a Marriott points collector but have switched away to Hilton and Starwood in the recent years. I still have about 44K points with Marriott.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to earn points or miles for this trip. The room rate will earn me about 2500 points. For pure mileage, looks like only 1mi/$, so only about 250 (would probably book to DL or UA).

Are there any promos that would make you lean one way or another? I don't seem to be able to register for megamiles, so doesn't look like that's an option.

Thoughts of the larger (and wiser) community?
