Even though buying points is rarely a good idea, at times a little topup or some crazy pricing difference between cash and points price of a stay can make purchasing points a better deal.
If you happen to be in need of Marriott Bonvoy points, this might be a good time.
Marriott is offering 40% bonus points, i.e. ~28.5% discount, on points purchases. Discount is available on purchases of 2000 points or more by March 22nd 2021.
Marriott has also doubled the annual purchased points limit to 100,000 points.
Here’s a glimpse of how much you pay and bonus points you will receive.
