Basics of Marriott points

Best redemptions to maximize value
It’s the way to maximize Marriott Bonvoy points that many travelers prefer, to save a higher amount or get the good feeling of having something very valuable for free.
So we’ll cover that a lot more to help you if that’s what you want.
In the meantime, good examples are the ones that cost 35,000 to 50,000 points per night but are worth $500 or even $2000!
It’s the ones where you can redeem your Marriott free night certificate very well:
- 31 examples of hotels that are very expensive in cash
- 26 other examples of hotels that are very expensive in cash
- Other examples coming soon
There are hundreds of them, and we’ll do the same work of listing examples for you as with maximizing quantity. But to maximize value, the hotels in question really vary more depending on the dates. It honestly gives you less choice, but it can be worth so much more!
Don’t miss these great examples!
Best redemptions to maximize flexibility
It’s the way to maximize Marriott Bonvoy points that is objectively not a good redemption in terms of value or quantity of trips.
Just book any of the 9000+ Marriott hotels around the world. If you want to simplify your life, the best redemption is the hotel that is where you want to go on the dates you want to go there without making any effort, regardless of the price in points and cash.
This will almost certainly give you less value, obviously.
But that’s still ≈ $1098 in free hotels with the current record-high deal, which is still phenomenally good!!!
