Marriott points are kinda sucky for value. And by kinda I mean REALLY. I believe 140K Marriott points is the current tradein for 50K AA miles which can be really flexible valuewise.
All hotel points (except starpoints) transfer crappily to airline miles. You'll almost always get the best value by using points for their intended purpose. You can get well over a cent per point with marriott points on the right redemption. Just needs to be an expensive time of year.

It's just a bad idea UNLESS you use a hotel + air package. Great value there.

This is true. If award availability is even available though. I have rarely gotten over 1 cent per point value on Marriott points. I think 1.4 was the record so far.
That's about what I got for my NYC trip. The value skyrockets on stays of 5+ nights because of the 5th night free.
so sounds like keep gold and pay for the base hotel and get upgrades and such for marriott and ritz but putting $25k+ spend a year wont' be better than 2% fidelity or 3% AARP.
and AA unless I spend more than $50k a year I don't see how I can even get 2 tickets a year for free without doing actual travel to earn some of the in-betweens and our travel is limited I just want to travel better when we do!
