Several bloggers peg Marriott points to a value of nearly 1cent. (TPG for example says 0.9 cents per point)
Marriott will sell you up to 50,000 at a value of just over 2 cents each? So that is their value.
I believe a more realistic metric is about 04 to 0.6 cents. It's very common to see 35,000 point hotels for about $160.
There is a handful of examples (and I mean only a handful out of the 6500 properties) where you can get 2 or more cents value.
