Planning a round trip leaving Trenton (TRE) 3/1/2010 to Tucson (TUS) returning 3/11/2010. What is my best use of AGR pts. (32,000)? Traveling with adult daughter, roomettes are fine. Dates are flexible, but would prefer not to overnight in a hotel which seems to rule out a route through NOL. I've never used AGR pts. before and know there are plenty of experts here that can help. Thanks!
 
If you do not mind maybe spending 1 night in coach, you can go from TRE to BUF (including the LSL :D ) for 3,000 points per person. Then you can buy a coach ticket BUF-TOL (for IIRC ~$20) and get a 2 zone roomette award from there! Total cost would be 23,000 points for a roomette for 1 or 26,000 points for a roomette for 2 - each way! ;)

If you need additional AGR points, you can buy up to 10,000 points per calendar year! (HINT: 12/1/09 and 1/1/10 are in different calendar years! ;) )
