1) Give them to me
2) Get one week in a Cat 6 Marriott
3) You can also buy points at a penny a piece so if you covet one week in a Cat 7, they will probably let you buy the 20K extra you need for that.
Long stays are the way to go with Marriott; that cat 6 hotel which runs 130K points for 7 nites costs 30K for the first night but only 10K for the 7th nite!

I would save up to 180k points to redeem a Cat 6 package or better to 200k to get a Cat 7 package. Packages are the best use of MR points, unless you don't care about air miles.
