Marriott prices award nights by date, so the same hotel can cost very different amounts; look up your own dates before buying.
Before you buy
- Find the award night first and check it is available for your dates; bought points cannot be refunded.
- Award nights usually skip room tax, so compare with the cash price including tax. Resort fees can still apply.
- Points bought to hold lose value whenever the program raises its award prices.
