Marriott Bonvoy launched several offers last month to get members to stay, and one of them was points purchase bonus that ends on Tuesday (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, which is doubled to 100,000 for the duration of this sale.
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.
If you would like to buy the maximum number of points, you must make two separate purchases each for 50,000 (before bonus).
Here’s the price at 60% bonus:
The cost of a point purchased at a 60% bonus (you get 80,000 for $625) is 0.78 cents each.
Conclusion
The price of a Marriott Bonvoy point has been slowly going lower during these sales (this is the lowest price ever sold), and I may soon buy some.
