Not sure if this is the right location to ask - seems like the Marriot to United chart is backward - 2000 Marriot Point for 8000 United miles. If I needed 140,000 for a flight, wouldn't it be better for me to convert 2000 miles, 18 times, vs. 50,000, then 10,000, then 2000? Can I even exchange that many times?
The best value of all is the travel package, where you get miles at 1.1:1 (!) after subtracting out the cost of the hotel reward. For 270K MR points, you can get 132K MP miles and a 7-night Category 5 certificate (150K MR points on its own).

Scheme ending?
Mods Do not know if this deserves its own thread ? BUT
Just received a letter from Marriott Rewards saying that my Gold Status will expire in Feb 2018 and inviting me to stay another 14 nights prior to Dec 31 2017 so that I can remain a gold member for another year. Received status via united but have heard nothing from them! Has anyone else received a similar letter or should I assume computer glitch?

A note on this - though it probably belongs in the Rewards Plus thread. If one is a Marriott Vacation Club Owner, one can also book a 5-day Cat 1-5 cert - very useful for shorter stays.

Could easily be discontinued depending on if marriott/spg wants to continue with delta or united.

I can't believe I've never heard of this until I got an email from MileagePlus yesterday about a trip I recently booked.
One question that I don't see anyone asking, and looking thru the terms isn't mentioned.
Does it matter what Credit Card I use to pay for the hotel with once I click thru the RewardsPlus email to Marriott's site? I'd obviously want to use my Chase/Marriott card for this.
