What Are the Benefits of a Marriott Bonvoy Award Redemption Stay?

Naturally, the most practical use of Marriott Bonvoy points is redeeming them for award nights.

Here are some of the standout advantages of booking a Marriott Bonvoy Award Redemption Stay:

No room taxes or standard fees: (Though resort fees, service charges, and gratuities may still apply depending on the property).
Flexible cancellation: Award bookings can often be canceled penalty-free up to a day or two before your arrival date.
Member benefits apply: You still receive your standard Marriott Bonvoy elite benefits on award stays.
Elite Night Credits: Award nights count toward earning or maintaining your Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status.
Stay for 5, Pay for 4: When you redeem points for five consecutive nights on a Standard Redemption or PointSavers Award, your lowest-point night is completely free.

Is It Worth Buying Marriott Bonvoy Points?

The primary reason to buy Marriott Bonvoy points is the potential for significant savings, as there are plenty of opportunities to maximize their value.

Redeeming points is often more cost-effective than paying the cash rate, especially at luxury properties. In many scenarios, buying the points outright and redeeming them is substantially cheaper than booking a cash rate.

Because Marriott uses dynamic award pricing (meaning point costs correlate with cash prices), buying points is most beneficial when you have a specific, near-term redemption in mind.

Review your upcoming travel plans to see if purchasing Marriott Bonvoy points could save you money compared to paying cash for your accommodations. If the math aligns with your travel needs and budget, it can be an incredibly smart move.

Great Uses for Marriott Bonvoy Points

With this promotion, you're acquiring Marriott Bonvoy points at just 0.88 cents each. When planning a trip, always compare the cost of buying points against the cash rate for the room.

Here are a few examples of the significant savings you can achieve using Marriott Bonvoy points:

The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

The cash rate is $1,146 per night (at current exchange rates), or you can book for 64,000 points per night. By purchasing those points with a 30% discount, you'd effectively pay $560 per night—saving 51% off the cash rate.

HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

The cash rate is $2,060 per night (at current exchange rates), or you can book for 114,000 points per night. By purchasing those points with a 30% discount, you'd effectively pay $998 per night—saving 52% off the cash rate.

New York Marriott Downtown

The cash rate is $711 per night, or you can book for 49,000 points per night. By purchasing those points with a 30% discount, you'd effectively pay $429 per night—saving 40% off the cash rate.

Heads Up! Don't forget—you can save even more if you're eligible for Marriott's “Stay for 5, Pay for 4” offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, purchased or gifted points do not count toward Marriott Bonvoy elite status.

6. How many Marriott Bonvoy points can I buy?
