Winding down: best uses of points without status?
My HH Diamond status will soon be gone and I'll be a plain Blue member with around 300,000 points. My thinking so far is that the best use for them is probably going to be good hotels with no bad rooms, such as the WA Chicago (where status got me a slightly nicer room but no additional benefits such as breakfast).
Can anyone suggest anything smarter? (Mrs IMH will still be Gold, BTW, and we usually travel together.) TIA.
