2.8M Marriott Bonvoy points - how would you use them?

I have 2.8M Bonvoy points and I’m currently Ambassador Elite. I’ve accumulated them over time but now want to actually maximize their value rather than let them sit there.

For the Bonvoy experts here:

What are the best Marriott redemptions in the world?
If you had 2.8M points, where would you spend them?
Any bucket-list / aspirational properties that are genuinely worth the points?
Would you optimize for cents per point, or simply use them for incredible experiences?
Any redemption strategies I should know about?
I travel all over the world and am open to anywhere.
If you had 2.8M Bonvoy points today, what would you do with them? Looking for specific properties and personal experiences rather than generic advice.

Platinum member booked 2 rooms at same hotel - only getting points for 1?

I’m a Marriott Platinum and recently booked two rooms at the same hotel, both under my name and with the same check-in date. I physically checked into both rooms.
I booked on separate reservations because I only needed 1 room for 1 night and the other for 2 nights.

When I contacted Marriott customer service, I was told I could only receive points for one room / reservation.

Is Marriott correct that I can only earn points on one room, even though I paid for and checked into both?

Booking error on app and website

Hello, is anyone also experiencing an error when you try to book on the app or the website using your free night awards? I have been trying to book the past few days and it still gives me an error. I reloaded the app and made sure it was updated and I still get the error. What should I do? Thanks!

Health warning for electrical medical devices Simpsonville, KY Bonvoy

The google satellite images scrubbed the massive power station which runs up the entire south side of this building, plus massive high voltage power lines.

Edited to add: cardiologist and pacemaker or defibrillators are told by their cardiologists and the product makers not to be in near these high voltage areas. This isn’t being kooky. It’s a legit medical issue.

Corporate refuses to provide notice saying people should find it elsewhere.

Make this known far and wide. If you have a medical electronic device - such as a pacemaker - Marriott bonvoy will not warn you prior to the booking that you cannot physically stay at their properties without risking a medical emergency.

Photo taken today facing south east from the back door of the building.

We had to drive almost an hour to find a room.

Hotels owe a legitimate duty of care to the health, safety, and welfare of every guest. Corporate is so greedy that it was willing to kill my family member for a quick buck.

I will never stay in another MARRIOT Bonvoy and I encourage you to avoid the same.
