I went with the 15k points for the following reasons. I do not have any suite upgrades to use at this property. I am not going to have enough stays to make it to the next status level. I do have the credit card so I am getting back a slight number of points on my redemption. I understand I get more bang for my points with the cash/points redemption but I don't really feel like reaching into my pocket and I am getting slightly over .02 per point in value. Am I shooting myself in the foot somehow by doing straight points?
