Marriott Bonvoy is out with another bonus for buying their points. Members who completed a Marriott stay between October 1-December 31 of 2023, are eligible for the 40% bonus. All other members are eligible to earn a 35% bonus.
The bonus kicks in on purchases of 2,000 or more points and is available until March 31, 2024
In the past we have seen this bonus go as high as 60% during the pandemic but I’m not sure if we’ll see that again – at least anytime soon.

With a 40% bonus you are buying points for 0.89 cents US$ each or about 1.25 to 1.45 cents each in C$ (Depending on which province you are in as the points purchase is subject to GST/HST).
We value Marriott Bonvoy points at a minimum of 1 cent C$ each which is below the price you would buying them with this bonus. That being said, we always stress it is a minimum. If you read our Everyday Value Series post Marriott Bonvoy provides great value for everyday hotel stays in Canada you’ll see many examples where redeeming points provides 1.7, 1.9 or even as much as 3.6 cents per point in value. In those cases in can make sense to buy the points as a cost savings measure against the sky high hotel prices we are currently seeing!
