Determining point value?
I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's better to use all points or spread out the stays for cash and points...

My points: 64176
Husband: 83113

We want to use them for the following hotels:

Holiday Inn Express Boston Garden (1 night)
Room price $390
40k for a free night
or 30k plus $70

Holiday Inn Express Fisherman's Wharf (2 nights)
Room price $360
40k for a free night
or 30k plus $70

Is it better to plow out the points or buy the points with cash & points? Our big trip next year is to South Africa and I already found that the hotels are very cheap but have very high point redemption rates, so we would pay cash for those. No other use for the points that I can see in the near future.
