Marriott Points Usage
Hi, I have 340k points am looking to put together a 2 hotel stay for 9/10 nights in France in June/July.
My question is, I know if you buy (use points) 4 you get the 5th night free. Is there any way to group it together among Marriott properties in different cities? We intend to stay 5 nights in Paris and another 4/5 in Cannes at the new Marriott property there, is it possible to get a discount for staying 9 or 10 nights straight in different marriott's?
Any better use of the points? Please let me know...thanks. Also, are Marriott's travel packages (airline + hotel) good buys to burn points on?

They used to have a Europe hopper award that would do something like what you're talking about, but they don't anymore. That was under the old redemption structure.
