Have Over 186,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points
What is the best way to maximize using these points, only option I was told by a Marriott rep on the phone is putting in the location and dates on Marriott's sites that I'd like to travel to and the search tells me how many points it will cost me, is this really the best and or only way of doing it? (I have seen many travel hackers who argue there are far better ways of efficiently maximizing your points other than this)
Thanks!
