under 1500 points
I only have between 1400 and 1500 points. I am a former Sheraton Gold member. I don't forsee myself staying at a Sheraton or Westin or any of their other properties any time soon.
Any suggestions on what I should or can do with these points?
Thanks.

Get the Starwood Optima card. 1000 bonus pts on the first charge, 1pt/$, no annual fee. Recently on the internet I saw an online application form, but do not have the URL where I saw the offer.

I meant to include that in my original message, American Express will not grant me any more credit with them. I have the regular car, Delta card, and Hilton card. (And yes, I do use them all).

You can also combine your Starwood account with another person, so if you have a family member who could apply for the card you may be able to combine the two and get to either a free night or a transfer to airline miles (2000 pts for lowest hotel award, 2500 pts min for airline transfer).
Also, ask them if they would convert the regular Optima to a Starwood Optima.
