HELP PLEASE: I am trying to help get a family (8 ka"h) to Miami for Chanukah and need to cover air and hotel. Have SPG points. Looking for direction, maybe flights and nights? I know I just missed the United bonus, but I would not have received the bonus miles until January and it looks like they are now 25K on most flights now for those dates anyway.
Does it make sense to transfer SPG-Marriott-Delta/Jetblue for tickets and then use the nights for something like Turnberry in Aventura using extra Marriot points to cover one of the rooms needed? Any other ideas please???
