Marriott Bonvoy has returned in 2021 with another “Week of Wonders”.

One of the interesting offers is available to members with elite status. Elite members can buy points with a 55% bonus between now and 14 October, 2021.

You must buy a minimum of 2,000 points to earn the 55% bonus. When you pay $25 to purchase 3,100 points, you are paying 0.8 cents (0.6p) per point.

In 2021, we’ve seen Marriott’s bonuses fluctuate between 40 and 50%. So 55% is a bit higher than we’ve seen this year, although I recall a 60% bonus from a year or two ago…

Don’t Forget Cashback

If you are a regular reader, you are hopefully aware that you can earn cashback on points purchases processed by Points.com. (including Marriott of course) as long as you sign up for the USA version of Topcashback.

An extra 2.5% discount is certainly worth the extra clicks and paying out to a PayPal account.

Not a Member of Topcashback Yet?

If you are not yet a member of Topcashback, you can earn an additional $15 (£11). Simply sign up using this referral link – http://www.topcashback.com/join-us/inside-flyer/ref/craigsowerby – and earn $10 of cashback.

It’s really quite simple to earn $10 of cashback. You would have to buy $400 worth of Marriott points to pick up $10 of cashback. Alternatively there are many hotel chains available where a single hotel stay will generate that much cashback. But between the $15 new member bonus and the $10 standard cashback, you’d be looking at $25 (£18.50) back in your pocket in no time!
