With 500,000 points, I would...

...oh you're not giving me the points. Wow the spending spree was about to begin...

Anyhow as the above thread mentions the dreamchaser will help you manage this and look at some of the better bargains (high and low end properties.) Definitely look through the vacation packages...you can get the flight, and hotel taken care of, and I think a few of them include a rental car?!?!?!

I personally enjoy spa vacations, so hitting a JW Marriott location would be my preference. Desert Ridge was mentioned, but if you prefer a more scenic (green environment) you could hit the JW @ Cherry Creek (Denver, CO). That property is beautiful and depending on the weather, you could enjoy nearby golfing, hiking, or skiing within a reasonable drive.
