One week only: Get a 60% bonus when you buy or gift points
With the latest Marriott Bonvoy™ points promotion, it’s even better to be the first to know. For one week only — November 19-25 — you’ll get a 60% bonus when you buy or gift points for any upcoming adventures. That’s an extra 10% over the 50% bonus that will be offered for the rest of the promotion through December 22.
Plus, the annual limit has been tripled to 150,000 points, and the bonus points don’t count toward the limit. That means up to 90,000 bonus points could be yours if you buy in the first week.
What are you excited to do with your bonus points? Let us know in the comments!

Mine is showing quadrupled limit which I am glad for as I already hit the 100k cap for the year, and can now buy another 100k + 60k.

I hope that that this doesn't mean that further devaluation is coming.

I am sitting on 1.2M points and 5 FNAs so I'm quite ready to burn those points for some aspirational redemptions before they devalue it further.

I'm looking to make a bunch of trips to Vail this season. Seems like it might be a good deal to buy points with this promo given that the cash rates tend to be $600-$1,200 at the Vail Mountain Marriott.

Had it not been for Covid, my balance would be halved easily.

The points redemption rates remain static (high) while the revenue rates are collapsing. Why should anyone buy points under this scenario?
90,000 points for a night at the W Koh Samui - or $210. Jokers!
