Cash or Points?
 
Have an upcoming 5 day reservation for the holidays at Ritz. I can stay for $2000 or 200k pts (booked before the increase, if made next yr it would be 240k)..

Wanted to see what other suggest?

Sounds like my beach week choice - $1,500 or 120k points.

I have it reserved on points but might change to dollars before June.

I use 300 MR points = $1 as my metric, so 200k points = $667. Additionally, $2000 can be used for all sorts of things, whereas MR points can be used for only a few things. If it were me, I'd use the points.

Another question to ask yourself: If you don't use the points on a stay like this, what will you use them on?
