I've been sitting on these points for quite a bit of time and don't anticipate using them any time soon.

I looked on the website, and there are some conversions available, such as to airlines, but was wondering if you experts had any other ideas or hints to maximize their value. I didn't see anything, but I'm not that familiar with the website & may have missed some opportunities.

I currently "collect" on CO, UA, DL, HH, & Hyatt GP.

Thanks in advance.
You can always book a free hotel night... that is a possibiliy.

Also Marriott allows you to use their points on merchandise, although you don't really receive great value for your points that way.
