A sentimental stay in Santa Fe, New Mexico
I would love to go back to La Posada de Santa Fe, A Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spawhere I got married in 2022.
It’s just steps from Santa Fe’s main attractions, shops, and restaurants. I’ve never visited New Mexico in October, but it’s supposed to be beautiful that time of year.
There are several nights available for less than 50,000 points or close enough to the threshold to be able to use points to reload free night awards.

A repeat visit to the Maldives
I would use it for four nights at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spawhich offers award nights for around 50,000 points per night during select seasons (like this September).
Four nights are enough to enjoy the resort, or perhaps you could redeem points for an additional night (and use the stay for five, pay four benefits) to extend your trip.

A holiday in Valencia, Spain
I would stay in Gran Hotel Centenari, Valencia, Autograph Collection. It is the city’s first Autograph Collection property and opened last year.
The Centenari is a boutique hotel with less than 60 rooms and is located within the historic Telefónica building. The photographs show a combination of 1920s art deco design and contemporary luxury finishes.
Many nights can be found for around 40,000 points, probably because it is a relatively new and unknown hotel. However, I think it’s still a good use for each 50,000 point free night award, especially to experience the new hotel before it’s actually “discovered.”

Cash prices for a four-night stay start at about $1,500.
A bucket list trip to Prague
The Czech Republic is on my travel list, so I would use my five free night awards on the Hotel Sir Prague. The Sir Prague is housed in a 19th-century Gothic-style building, giving it a layer of charm and historical appeal that many hotels lack.
While some award nights can reach up to 80,000 points, there are many nights available for around 50,000 points.
Multi-night hotel stays in major cities can be very expensive, so without these four free night awards, this city could remain on my bucket list forever.

Cash prices for a four-night stay start at about $900.

An Outdoor Retreat in Sedona, Arizona
I would use the points to book a five-night stay at the Element by Marriott Sedonalocated just minutes from some of Arizona’s most iconic red rock trails. The hotel usually costs around 50,000 points per night, so my goal would be to use the entire four-night voucher for a desert vacation.
Sedona has been on my list for years and since hotels can book up quickly, especially during peak season, I would use the points to secure a well-located stay without having to pay out of pocket.

A return to Hong Kong
I have been thinking about returning to Hong Kong and there are many Marriott Bonvoy properties at different price points. But a good place to use a prize of up to 50,000 points on many dates is the Renaissance Hong Kong Hotel with Harbor View as it often offers award rates equal to or slightly above 50,000 points per night.
The hotel, including some rooms and the executive lounge, has those iconic panoramic views of Victoria Harbor that are a must for many visitors to Hong Kong.

A trip close to home
I would use four 50,000 point free night awards on the Residence Inn by Marriott Bend in Oregon. It’s a newer Residence Inn and is right across the street from the Old Mill District, which includes the Hayden Holmes Amphitheater, an amazing concert venue that’s right on the river.
I feel like four days is a perfect amount of time to spend in Bend. You can drive the Cascade Lake Scenic Byway, boat or canoe the lakes, or take a day trip to Crater Lake. July is one of the best times to be there, and that’s when rates are around 50,000 points per night.
