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.

You no longer need to make separate purchases if you would like to buy more than 50,000 points.

Here’s the price at 50% bonus:

The cost of a point purchased at a 50% bonus (you get 225,000 for $1,875) is 0.83 cents each.

Conclusion

The bonus during the previous sale this summer was 60% (highest that Marriott has ever offered), and it is likely to return at some point.  If you have a good use for points right now, it can make sense to buy.
