Frequently asked questions
How much are Marriott Bonvoy points worth?
Marriott Bonvoy points are worth about 0.8 cents each. Typical redemptions land between 0.6 and 0.8 cents per point, and above 1.1 cpp is excellent. The St. Regis Maldives at 100,000 points against a $1,500 cash rate returns 1.5 cpp — one of the strongest uses of Bonvoy points.
What is a good redemption value for Marriott points?
Aim for 1.0 cent per point or better. Category 1-4 properties often clear that bar. For comparison, the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo at 70,000 points against $600 returns 0.86 cpp, and a Courtyard Times Square night at 35,000 points against $250 returns 0.71 cpp.
How many Marriott points do I need for a free night?
Award nights range from about 15,000 points at a Fairfield Inn to 100,000 points at a St. Regis or Ritz-Carlton. Marriott uses dynamic pricing, and off-peak dates save 15-30% against standard rates.
How do I get more than 0.8 cents per Marriott point?
Book five nights and the fifth is free, which makes a five-night stay 20% more valuable — always factor that in before comparing to cash. Category 1-4 properties and off-peak dates are the most reliable way to clear 1.0 cpp. Points + Cash is convenient but usually returns less than a straight points booking.
