Marriott Bonvoy is launching several initiatives this month to get members to book and stay, including a points sale between May 18 – June 30, 2020.
Members get a 60% bonus (previously max 50%) on points purchased or gifted. The number of points that a member can buy or gifted in any calendar year is capped at 50,000. It is unclear if the limit is raised during this sale (previously often, yes).
You can access this offer on Marriott’s website here.

Note that member’s account that receives the points must have been open a minimum of 90 days OR 30 if there has been any qualifying activity.
Here’s the price at 50% bonus:
The cost of a point purchased at a 60% bonus (you get 80,000 for $625) is 0.78 cents each.
Conclusion
The peak (at least the first peak) of the Covid-19 is now behind for most of us, and travel is starting slowly to pick up a bit. The price of a Marriott Bonvoy point is slowly going lower during these sales, and I may soon buy some.
I’ll do an update once this sale goes live next week.
