Where can I get 720,000 MT for $4,300?
You're not going to get that from a broker, you need to buy at that price directly from a consumer

Wait until Amazon has the redemption for .005 per point and buy Amazon gift cards. I don’t think any broker can match that. May be a good idea to link the two now already.

What’s the best value to use my Marriott points. My wife and I have 500k+. Should I call a broker or first transfer them to airline miles ?

Hi,
What are the good amounts for an AA account?

Is 110,000 a good amount? or 115,000?

But it has happened twice already this past year, for very short times, so it’s still sound advice

That’s a very very good number to sit on! But no one will buy it if that’s what you’re asking.
