Hey r/amexcanada community.

It's been a little over a year since I got my Cobalt card and to this point I've accumulated 106,000 MR points. I know of the obvious 1:1 transfer to Aeroplan and getting the most value with overseas business and first-class flights. As of right now I'm probably not going to travel until later in the year.

I do local staycations and also appreciate bigger, spacious hotel rooms when travelling domestically within North America. I wanted to lean into that side more and am asking for some suggestions-guidance when it comes to taking advantage of my MR points for 1-2 night hotel stays.

Any help, suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you for all the feedback and advice. It seems in 2024 it doesn't really make sense to redeem for hotel stays. More beneficial to just be patient and use for flights via AP and airline partners. Thanks again.
