What's the best way to get the highest rate of 28k SPG points and 84k Marriot points. I could either turn them into 56k SPG or 168k Marriott, or I could get 75k United Miles. Thanks!

They count towards status. They aren't used to book tickets.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
