Attention points hoarders and luxury hotel dreamers—Marriott Bonvoy has fired up a new points sale; this time, it’s a flat 45% bonus for everyone. No secret handshake is required. The deal runs until March 30th, so if your travel fund needs a boost, now’s the time to pounce.

What’s the Deal?
Head over to this page, and you’ll get a 45% bonus on all points purchases—provided you buy at least 40,000 points. Unlike Marriott’s usual ‘spin-the-wheel-of-discounts’ approach, everyone gets the same offer this time. No FOMO necessary.
The Fine Print.
- New Cap Alert: Marriott has upped the annual purchase limit from 100,000 to 150,000 points—and yes, that’s before the 45% bonus.
- Biggest Buy Possible: If you max out at 150,000 points, the 45% bonus gives you 217,500 points for $1,875. That’s 0.69p per point, which is a bit above the “good deal” threshold of 0.5p—but let’s be honest, we’ve all made worse financial decisions in airport duty-free.
When Does This Make Sense?
Not all points purchases are created equal, but this could be a smart move if:
✅ You’re topping off your account before making a redemption.
✅ You’re just shy of 60,000 points and want to convert them into airline miles (Marriott still throws in 5,000 bonus miles when you transfer 60,000 points to most airline programs).
✅ You’re eyeing a fancy redemption where you know the points price will massively outvalue the cash rate.
Marriott has been edging towards revenue-based redemptions, but there are still pockets of brilliance where you can get serious value—just be prepared to do a little hunting.
One Small Catch (Because There’s Always One).
Your Marriott Bonvoy account must be at least 90 days old before you can buy points. However, if you’ve already had some activity (like a hotel stay), you can purchase after just 30 days.
Final Boarding Call.
The sale runs until March 30th, so if you’re in the market for Bonvoy points, this could be a solid opportunity to bulk up. Just ensure you have a redemption plan in mind—points don’t earn interest, and we all know loyalty programs love a good devaluation.
Now, go forth and strategize your way into a five-star suite.
