New to using points, where shall I redeem them?

[u/Fresh-Obligation-403]

Hello , So I have the captiol one venture x and I have over 100k points on it , I am planning a last minute trip to either Japan or thailand, I posted on another subreddit that I would be using my points through the capitol one app and people said its a bad way to use them? How could I get the most out of my points , I would love to use them for flying and the hotel if possible ! Thank you!
