Marriott Bonvoy has brought back a 40% bonus for buying their points. While we have seen 60% in the past (during the pandemic) I don’t think we’ll ever see that again but 50% does come around so if you don’t need points now you could choose to wait.
The 40% bonus
Receive a 40% bonus when you buy 2,000 or Marriott Bonvoy points. Offer valid to Mar 26, 26.

With a 40% bonus you are buying points for 0.89 cents US$ each:
We value Marriott Bonvoy points at roughly 0.7 cents per point at a minimum. That being said, we always stress it is a minimum. We’ve seen examples where redeeming points provide much higher point in value.
My last Marriott redemption made just a few weeks ago had a value of 1.43 cents in US$, so buying at 0.7 cents would make great sense for a redemption like that.
Buy points for even less
If you are planning on staying at any Marriott Hotels around the world be sure to check if those hotels have an individual hotel bonus points offer available. Those bonus points offers are often the same price or slightly more than the non-member flexible rate so in effect you pay a little more to get the bonus points, thus another method of buying points. The trick here though is many times that little bit extra you pay is WAY cheaper (0.1 to 0.2 cents per point!) than buying points from Marriott even with the 40% bonus.
