If you elect to earn M&M miles for stays instead of Bonvoy points, earning 25,000 miles would require $12,500 in spend at full-service properties. However, if you only have a few Bonvoy stays, and the points would otherwise remained orphaned and expire, it may make sense to choose airline miles instead.
According to
funkbandit, this promo generates M&M miles
in addition to the usual Bonvoy points. So it is not a case of miles
instead of points, as you wrote.
