Marriott
The Hilton Honors Promotion that competitor Marriott Bonvoy unveils its points sale offer, the second of 2021. From now until June 20, you can receive a discount of 30% By purchasing 2,000 or more Marriott Bonvoy points.
The promotion in detail
In this article:
The Bonvoy program allows you to accumulate and spend points at Marriott Group facilities. This offer is dedicated to all those who have been enrolled in the loyalty program for at least 30 days. So if you haven't signed up yet, you need to do so quickly: the offer expires on June 20, 2021. It doesn't matter if you have, or haven't, collected points in the last few years: people who have activated their account but have never generated any movements can also access the promo.
Each user can buy up to A maximum of 100,000 Bonvoy points per year, points that can be used to stay at one of thousands of facilities around the world, including Italy, without spending anything else.
How to use the points and does it make sense to buy them?
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
We have repeatedly explained the reasons and dynamics of selling points/miles by airlines and hotel groups. The answer to the question is always the same: It depends. On what? On the offer: if there are no promotions, it NEVER makes sense to buy. Be careful, though, each offer has its own characteristics, so you have to make a different reasoning each time.
Marriott shares its Hotels in categories, from 1 to 8, which makes it possible to know in advance the points needed to stay in a particular facility during low, medium or high season.
In the past few days we have talked about how to book a brand new facility in the Maldives for only 24k points per night. With this promo, buying 100k points to book at this property would cost us 875$, or just over €720. But paying cash, a 5-night stay at this hotel would cost us no less than 720$ per night. There you have it. the offer that allows us to buy points with the discount, in the case of the Maldives stay, would save us nearly 3,000 $.
On the contrary, at present, sleep in Venice in some of the city's most luxurious facilities makes little sense. Why? The 140k points per night required does not correspond to the hyped-up rates charged at this time.
To buy points just go to the official website, enter your credentials and complete the procedure. Points are usually credited immediately.
