This works across the entire Marriott Bonvoy network — 30+ brands, 9,000+ hotels in 140+ countries, from Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis to Westin, Sheraton and Courtyard. You pick any Bonvoy hotel and dates. We pay the stay with points and Marriott issues the reservation in your name — an official Gifted Award Reservation. Your price is a flat 0.8¢ per point: a 500,000-point stay costs US$4,000, whatever the cash rate says. Biggest savings at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION and Maldives resorts — and aim for blocks of 5, 10 or 15 nights where you can — those lengths price best per night. Minimum booking 300,000 points (US$2,400).
💬 Get a quote — 60-second formYou can book any length — 6, 11 or 14 nights all work — but the per-night pricing is at its best in blocks of 5, 10 or 15 nights: roughly 20% cheaper per night than shorter stays at the same hotel. If your dates can stretch to a multiple of five, stretch them — same hotel, same room, meaningfully lower per-night cost. The points price you see on marriott.com for those lengths already reflects it, so the quote you send us does too.
This is not a single-hotel trick — it works at any hotel bookable with Marriott Bonvoy points, the full network of 30+ brands and 9,000+ properties in 140+ countries:
Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton · St. Regis · EDITION · The Luxury Collection · W Hotels · JW Marriott · Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Premium: Marriott · Sheraton · Westin · Le Méridien · Autograph Collection · Renaissance · Tribute Portfolio · Delta Hotels · Gaylord
Select & longer stays: Courtyard · Moxy · AC Hotels · aloft · Four Points · Residence Inn · Element · Fairfield & more
If it shows a points price on marriott.com, we can book it. The value question is only ever the ratio between the cash rate and the points price — which is why the examples below skew to the top of the range.
| POINTS PRICE OF THE STAY | YOUR PRICE (0.8¢/PT) | BREAK-EVEN CASH RATE | 50% OFF WHEN CASH RATE IS… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300,000 points (minimum) | US$2,400 | US$2,400 | US$4,800+ |
| 500,000 points | US$4,000 | US$4,000 | US$8,000+ |
| 750,000 points | US$6,000 | US$6,000 | US$12,000+ |
| 1,000,000 points | US$8,000 | US$8,000 | US$16,000+ |
Read it simply: if the cash rate for your dates is more than double your price, you are at ~50% off. Luxury and resort properties — Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, W, and destinations like the Maldives — price highest in cash per point, which is where this lands hardest.
| HOTEL | DATES | POINTS PRICE | CASH RATE | YOUR PRICE (0.8¢/PT) | SAVING |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 538,000 pts | US$11,583 | US$4,304 | 63% |
| W Maldives — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 625,000 pts | US$10,291 | US$5,000 | 51% |
| The London EDITION — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 511,000 pts | US$6,055 | US$4,088 | 32% |
| Le Méridien Beach Plaza, Monaco — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 473,500 pts | US$6,335 | US$3,788 | 40% |
| The Rome EDITION — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 560,000 pts | US$7,200 | US$4,480 | 38% |
| The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 656,000 pts | US$15,325 | US$5,248 | 66% |
| The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 640,000 pts | US$11,600 | US$5,120 | 56% |

| The New York EDITION — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 452,000 pts | US$7,720 | US$3,616 | 53% |
| For contrast: W London — 5 nights | 20–25 Sep 2026 | 493,000 pts | US$5,000 | US$3,944 | 21% — we'd say skip it |
Checked live on marriott.com, September 2026, standard room for the dates shown. Notice the spread: remote resorts and peak-week city hotels hit 50-72% off; European city five-stars on ordinary dates land in the 30-40% band. One more lesson in the New York rows: those dates are a peak-demand city week, when cash rates spike but points prices barely move — exactly when points pricing shines. A Westin at 72% off is not a resort story; it is a timing story. And the W London row is there on purpose: at 21% off we would tell you not to book it this way — at hotels like that, our Explore Rate access is the far better tool (the same W London checked at £142 a night on MMP). We would rather point you to the right product than take the order. The math is the same everywhere — the cash-to-points ratio decides, and you can check it yourself before asking us for anything. Rates and award prices move daily — run the same search for your own dates and the current numbers are your quote. More live-checked examples are being added, the same way we built the Explore Rate table.
Dates are final. Gifted Award Reservations are very difficult to change once issued, so we book when your plans are fixed. Exact cancellation terms are confirmed at order stage, before you pay. Need flexibility anyway? Ask — flexible handling can be arranged at a premium, quoted case by case.
No points, no elite perks. The stay earns no Bonvoy points or elite nights, and elite benefits apply only if you hold status yourself. Discount or earning — pick per trip. If status is what you want, our status packages are the right tool, and our Explore Rate access is the year-round alternative for frequent Marriott travellers.
Straight talk on the rules. The Gifted Award Reservation is an official Marriott feature; using it commercially sits outside the spirit of the programme's terms, and Marriott could cancel a reservation it identifies as improper. We disclose this before you pay — as we do across every Marriott product we sell — and our order terms set out what happens in that case.
| YOU ARE… | RIGHT PRODUCT | WHY |
|---|---|---|
| Planning one big luxury trip | Points Stay (this page) | One payment, no annual fee, reservation in your name, up to ~60% off at the high end. |
| In Marriott hotels 10+ nights a year | Explore Rate access (MMP) | US$2,399 once, then 50–75% off everything you book yourself for 12 months. |
| Chasing upgrades, breakfast, late checkout | Bonvoy status | Elite benefits on every stay, including paid ones. |
You choose any hotel across the entire Marriott Bonvoy network — 30+ brands, 9,000+ properties, Ritz-Carlton to Courtyard — and the dates; we pay the stay with Marriott Bonvoy points from our own accounts and Marriott issues the reservation in your name as a Gifted Award Reservation — an official Marriott mechanism handled through Member Support. You check in with photo ID like any guest and bring your own card for incidentals.
Flat 0.8 cents per point of the stay's points price. Search your hotel and dates on marriott.com, toggle Use Points/Awards, and the points price you see is the quote: a 500,000-point stay costs US$4,000, a 1,000,000-point stay US$8,000. The cash rate shows right next to it, so your saving is visible before you commit. Checked live: 5 nights at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli, 20-25 Sep 2026, priced 538,000 points or US$11,583 cash — our price US$4,304, a 63% saving.
At the top of the range — Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, W and resort destinations like the Maldives, where the cash rate per point is highest and stays can reach 60% off and more. And book in blocks of five where you can: 5, 10 or 15-night stays carry the best per-night pricing, roughly a further 20% off per night versus shorter stays. At mid-range properties the discount is real but smaller, typically 15-30%.
Treat the booking as final. Gifted Award Reservations are very difficult to change once issued, so we book only when your dates are fixed; the exact cancellation terms are confirmed at order stage before you pay. If you need flexibility, tell us — flexible handling can be arranged at a premium, quoted case by case.
No points and no elite nights are earned on a gifted award stay, and elite benefits apply only if you hold status yourself. If earning matters more than the discount, our hotel status packages are the better tool — we will tell you honestly which fits.
The Gifted Award Reservation itself is an official Marriott feature. Using it commercially, as we do, sits outside the spirit of the programme's terms, and Marriott could cancel a reservation it identifies as improper. We say this plainly before you pay, exactly as we do for our other Marriott products, and our order terms set out what happens in that case.
300,000 points, which is US$2,400 at our rate. This product is built for high-value stays — a luxury city week or an overwater villa in the Maldives — where the discount against the cash rate is largest.
