Marriott Bonvoy Moments

Marriott’s experiences marketplace: packages for concerts, sports events, chef dinners and trips, redeemed with Marriott Bonvoy points. You sign in with your Marriott Bonvoy account to bid or redeem, and you can’t pay with cash.

Some Moments are only for holders of a particular Marriott co-brand credit card, marked with a colored flag on the listing. Packages can’t be resold, and giving one to someone else needs Marriott’s written consent first.

1. Sign in and open the auction. Bids go up in 2,500-point steps.
2. Place a single bid, or set the most you’re willing to spend and let the system raise your bid for you, one step at a time, up to that limit.
3. When the auction closes, the highest bidder wins and the points come off then.

Packages released for 1 point, first come, first served, with some also sold by auction. You can redeem 1 1-Point Drop package a calendar year, and that includes one won at auction during a drop. Once you have it, you can’t redeem another 1-Point Drop until the next year.

• Up to 2 packages for the same Moment. A few events set their own limit, so read the listing.
• 1 1-Point Drop package a calendar year.
• No refunds or substitutions once you redeem or win.
• No resale, and no gifting without Marriott’s written consent.

Run the same test we use for hotel nights:

1. Find what the same tickets or experience cost in cash.
2. Multiply that cash price by 100, then divide by the points the Moment costs.
3. The answer is cents per point. We rate a redemption Fair from 0.70¢ a point; below that, points usually go further on a hotel stay.

Our take: a package that costs 100,000 points needs to be worth at least $700 in cash to reach Fair. Auctions for the most popular events can climb far past that, so set your limit from the cash price, not from the excitement of the bidding. See what your points are worth on stays, or see what your balance can book.
