How can Marriot be more than 1/3 of SPG points?! Why wouldn't you trade SPG into Marriot before making the sale? Also, I know a broker who's offering 1.8 for SPG points minimum 83k.

Your second statement is funny based on your first.

I know, I guess I should edit the wiki to reflect the recent price, but I'm saying the wiki is currently intrinsically oxymoronic

I'm not sure he's still offering that, you might want to confirm.

I changed it back, but you gotta be dumb to sell SPG for 1.6 instead of transferring it to Marriot..

If the valuations are correct.
1 SPG = 3 Marriott so .6 x 3 = 1.8

SPG according to the valuations gets you 1.6 and transferring to Marriott will get you 1.8. Last time I checked 1.8 is better than 1.6 or am I missing something?
