Sounds like a horrible redemption for RR points

So spend $100 worth of points on TSA Pre?

9K points are worth well more than $100.

9K points are worth well more than $100.

For personal use, certainly.  I was referencing market rate.  Either way, the point stands.

Better value then redeeming MR for a TV or iPad

Especially if you aren't going to use sw points for flights

Sell the points to friends or family, then buy a Global Entry credit off someone here for $25. You'll still come out about $90 ahead.
