In my experience, it is becoming increasingly difficult to use bonvoy points for Marriott branded hotel rooms. For example, I recently tried to book a 5 night stay using points. Of the 8 hotels with available rooms, only 2 of the lower tier hotels were offering rooms for points. I am finding this situation becoming increasingly common.

Can anyone offer advice how to get around this problem? Or…..are our Bonvoy points eventually going to become useless?
