Rewards consolidation
Have around 240k with marriott, 140k with Delta and around 65k with PENFED rewards.
Wondering how to consolidate these for a best return. Any ideas please.

you can convert your 250,000 MR points straight out to 100,000 DL miles

but in my opinion, better value is to convert 250,000 MR points in hotel + air miles pkg = the same 100,000 DL miles + 1 week at a Cat 1-5 property

sorry, I don't live in the US so am unfamiliar with PENFED

I actually have about the same. Personally I think those stay+air packages are OK, but with as many DL skymiles as you have you probably aren't looking for a ton more. I think each set of points/miles are best used at their respective programs.
I'm taking my DL miles, flying first class to Hawaii and staying for a week in Maui. I will have enough miles for some domestic trips and some leftover Marriott points for long weekends.
