Hunting down the best possible reservations using points is in our DNA, Using the points accumulated from everyday spending to stay in the Maldives is one of the best ways there is. We told how Joseph saved nearly 30 thousand for the upcoming Christmas vacation Or like myself after doing this Christmas in the Maldives, I booked Polynesia next year always spending nothing but points.

The St Regis Maldives
After talking about the Hilton family's unobtainable rooms today we move on to Marriott and in particular the possibility of booking with Bonvoy points one of the most exclusive resorts at a price, really a bargain, there are in fact a lot of availability for the St Regis Maldives this summer and fall and also dates in early 2024, just after the Christmas holidays, the best time to fly to the Indian Ocean.
For a Villa on the Water or a Garden View Villa a minimum of 88k Marriott points per night are required, thanks to the fifth night free rule, it means that doing 5 nights in this paradise costs only 352k bonvoy points and not the approximately $2000 per night that is the current cost of the same accommodations. Spending 70k points on a resort in this category could fall into the category of juggling theft.
The availability
Sleeping at 88k points a night towards the end of summer is possible, of course it is the rainy season, but it is not the monsoon we are talking about an hour or so of downpour and then it always comes back clear.
As we have repeatedly explained the 5th night free allows you to lower the final cost of the reservation, and here here are some examples of how to stay even in January 2024 for 5 nights while spending even less than 80 thousand points per night.
How to accumulate Bonvoy points in Italy
The first way is by staying in Marriott chain hotels, but there are many other ways to accumulate points for free. For example of you can earn points by flying with Emirates, transferring points from loyalty programs to Bonvoy and Transferring points from Membership Rewards to Bonvoy with only three clicks.
Up to 40% of bonus points
I will never tire of repeating it: points should be bought ONLY if you have short-term uses planned or if you are targeting a particular reservation, so it is difficult to find free rooms or available flights, in which case the risk is worth the candle.
The current offer is not the most generous in Marriott's history, but at most in recent years we have seen a bonus of 50% while lately the bonuses have been even lower than 30%. Until April 3, you can get 40% bonus points If you decide to buy at least 2,000 bonvoy points.
Marriott Bonvoy points do not expire as long as the account is active. Simply make at least one stay every 24 months, even an award night, to renew the validity of the points.
