I will have nine nights when the promo ends. I was offered 10 nights- 20,000 points. I only use my points to exchange for miles in NW or AMW. I could check into a local Marriott for 1 night (not stay- bad hotel) and, thereby, get the 20,000 points. From a value standpoint- does that seem to make sense? I already have 125,000 points to exchange but should have the same within six months.

BTW, any idea when they will offer an exchange bonus? I once was able to exchange points for miles at a great exchange. I was waiting for them to do that again. Thanks!
