Searched and didn't find this mentioned.

Biggest offer yet, AFICR.

Enjoy.

P.S. (and OT) For those of you who have been to Paris, I'd love your advice on my upcoming Paris Trip.

Without a spend requirement? Cool!
70K Marriot points is good for how many nights, typically?

One, if you are lucky.

     Ok, not exactly but they are def worth less than you'd expect.  Go to Marriot.com and try searching some areas for award stays so you will have a better idea.

Just did a quick test: worth about 2 nights and change at Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Hawaii.

I was looking for a hotel at Niagara Falls, CA during this past July-August. Marriott wanted 50,000 points/night for a half decent room. (So did Hilton, Embassy and Crowne Plaza). Most of these rooms were available for around $199-$250 night.

SPG was the only program offering a decent room for 13k/night at the Sheraton. (There is no Hyatt on the falls, so I couldn't say what they would want.)

Also worth noting is that Marriott points can be transferred into SWA (if you need to hit a limit, say 110k, for the unbelievable companion pass).

Isn't that like at a 5:1 ratio? 10k Marriot = 2k Southwest

I didn't comment on the value of the transfer option, only that there was one. Additionally, the xfer rate progressively improves as you xfer more points. Last, I mentioned that the transfer option my be most valuable to those who need to hit a SWA threshold.

At least 7 IIRC, four in the past 3/4 months.

Yea, seems about right. I did four from May-August and I'm trying to give it like 3 months (end of Nov) before I try to get some more...

Probably get me a little Ink Bold + Freedom action.

If I did three this year - last one in Sept. - can I get another 2BM in before 2012 or is it best to wait?

There are other factors to your credit-worthiness, like your annual income, length of credit history, total outstanding credit with other banks, utilization, number of inquiries on the report Chase pulls (I had 11!) etc.etc.

If all your other ducks line up, I'd say go for it!

I'm confident they'll match it, you might want to wait until you're approved though.
