Marriott Bonvoy Moments is an experiences platform where you can redeem your points for more than just hotel stays. From VIP concert boxes to six-course food tours and sporting events, the programme lets members exchange points for “Extraordinary Moments”.

Recent offers have included:

• Access to Marriott’s luxury suite at The O2 for events like Michael McIntyre and Disney On Ice – with food and drink included.
• Gourmet Odyssey experiences in London, taking diners on a progressive tasting journey across three high‑end restaurants with wine pairings.
• Travel packages such as a grape harvest and dinner at Torre de Palma Wine Hotel in Portugal, including a stay, or a match‑day experience to see Atlético Madrid in Madrid.
• Behind‑the‑scenes tours like whisky tastings at Lindores Abbey Distillery in Scotland with dinner and a stay at The Glasshouse Hotel.

The points pricing varies: London experiences can cost 150,000 points or more, while similar events in Berlin’s Uber Arena tend to be cheaper. Some Moments are fixed‑price, while others are auctioned to the highest bidder.

How to earn Marriott Bonvoy points

Even if you’re not a regular Marriott guest, there are many ways to build your Bonvoy balance:

• Transfer from American Express Membership Rewards at a 2:3 ratio.
• Convert Nectar points into Bonvoy at 2:1 (Not recommended!)
• Move points from airline programmes including United MileagePlus,
• Apply for the Marriott Bonvoy American Express card to earn points on everyday spend.
• Buy points during promotions.
• Earn points at restaurants and spas participating in Marriott Bonvoy even when you’re not staying.

To take part, you need to be a Marriott Bonvoy member. If you’re not yet signed up, you can join for free here.

Bottom line

For UK travellers, Bonvoy Moments can turn your points into something a bit more memorable than a hotel stay. From concerts and sports to culinary adventures, there’s something for everyone.

The key is to monitor the platform regularly – experiences sell out quickly and auctions can get competitive. Focus on fixed‑price Moments if you want to guarantee your seat, and make sure you’re earning points efficiently so you’re ready when the right opportunity appears.
