By my calculations, I could get 40 nights free at a Marriott hotel (making sure to stay at the 10 points per night hotels) in one year.
More when you calculate the additional miles for groceries, gas, and other things.!

Indeed worth considering other chains/brands or several chain/brands and/or AirNB or equal and comparing total cash out lay vs "
free " nights. One chain/brand may not have best properties for location and.or cost
OP mentions '
groceries" so may be wanting to
home prepare meals at times. That may limit properties.
Over the decades I have spent periods of 10 months - 6 months - 3 months on the road. Sometimes you need to stop moving an
rest for a month somewhere
