When it comes to hotel points and using them for free nights as a rough estimate...each hotel chain has a aslighly different formula...

for Marriott I see 10,000 pts= $100. I have no problem using 10K pts for a hotel rate of $150 or higher. I wouldnt use 20K points for a hotel that I can get a room for $85/night

With best western and Choice I look at 16,000 pts = $100.
