Note that a 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 a 45% bonus:

The cost of a point purchased at a 45% bonus is 0.86 cents each.

Things to note:

  • A member must be an active member in good standing to purchase and/or receive Marriott Bonvoy points.

  • Points may be purchased in increments of 1,000 up to 50,000 or in increments of 5,000 up to 100,000.

  • Members may purchase up to 100,000 points each calendar year (with a minimum purchase of 2,000 points required for promotion eligibility).

  • Bonus points are not included in the annual maximum purchase amount.

  • Purchased points do not count towards Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status.

  • Points purchased will be processed into the member’s Marriott Bonvoy account within 72 hours after the transaction is complete.

  • To purchase points, please go here: https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/redeem/purchasePoints.mi

  • You may gift points to another Marriott Bonvoy account and the recipient of the gift transaction will receive the base and bonus points. To purchase points for a gift, please go here: https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/redeem/giftPoints.mi

  • Members globally who purchase points with a China UnionPay credit card (starting with digits 62) can get a 10% discount on purchases of 2,000+ Marriott Bonvoy™ points.

Remember that Marriott moves to dynamically priced hotel awards in 2022:

Marriott Bonvoy Moves To Fully Dynamically Priced Hotel Awards In 2023

Conclusion

Buying Marriott points only makes sense if you can redeem for a fifth-night free award at a costly property, or the paid rates are throughout the roof, and award availability exists. The fair value of Marriott Bonvoy points is somewhere between 0.4 to 0.6 cents each that is a likely range that is used towards award pricing in 2022.

Marriott Bonvoy has sold points at a lower price (60% bonus) previously.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

*Program Rules

  • Transactions must be completed between 9:00 a.m. EDT November 4, 2021, and 11:59 p.m. EDT December 8, 2021, to be eligible for the 45% bonus Points purchase offer with a minimum purchase of 2,000 Points.
