If you're going to be spending a significant amount of nights in a hotel then I would definitely recommend Marriott Points. However, if this is only a few random nights then sticking to the miles may be the wiser option as getting ~20,000 marriott points will only yield a single night in a Category 4 hotel.
Thank you. I agree with that thought and will earn miles. 20K MR pts isnt going to get my anything. At most, for 2005, I will spend maybe 10 nighs at a hotel this year. My company is a huge fan of the 1-day trips (i hate them). Leave at 6 am, back home by 9 pm. It sucks, so when thats the case, I try to get out of traveling.
