The other thing to keep in mind is that looking at a 1 night Ritz redemption is potentially going to be a very bad value for your points no matter how you earned them.

For better or worse, this program's sweet spots are not that. Hyatt and IHG are probably your better 1-night programs. Marriott is built around the 5-nighter and the Travel Packages (although not quite to the extent it once was).

If you find a Ritz that intersects with your 50k credit card free night, that can potentially be a very nice option.
