marriott rewards program near worthless rewards points world wide Nationwide

     Last year we spent 42 consecutive days at a Marriott Hotel in Boca Raton, FL. All these days accumulated points in our rewards program. We want to spend one night in a Marriott and use our points for a room in Key Largo. Our 42 nights of points will only get us 1/2 way to getting our 1 night. The closest hotel that will accept our points for a single night is 43 miles from Key Largo. Hell it isn't that much further for us to drive from our house in Boca Raton and we wouldn't even to have to pack a suitcase.
