Why is that??
Most of the properties will go up in points. If you have plenty of points, you should just transfer them to SPG and book at SPG side when they are still cheap now. You do not need to mess with the Marriott side.
There is not much we can do with Marriott TPs. We can't use them to book SPG stays now.
