Marriott had some sweet spots in their chart. This is from the 1989 chart.

Q8 - 140K Marriott points
8 night stay at any Marriott hotel worldwide (they had 170 at the time)
2 RT coach tickets anywhere in the world (I've noted a caveat of no coach on their partner Northwest)
Free 7 day rental car, full size
The award certs did not need to be used on the same itinerary.

Marriott owned two cruise ships for a time that were based in Greece. We used points for a free cruise of the Greek Islands.

The TWA reward chart was ridiculous. It kept me flying thru St Louis til the end. I remember an early promo: fly 5 flights and 5000 miles. Receive an award ticket in F for anywhere in the USA. We figured out a 5 segment routing from San Diego to NYC that came in at about 5030 miles for little over $200. We had a great weekend in NY with friends. They gave their two award tickets to her parents to fly to Alaska in F. We used ours to fly to Hawaii in F. The TWA awards also included free nights at Hilton International, a vastly superior chain to the domestic Hilton. We had some remarkable stays at hotels around the world.
