How much are Marriott Bonvoy points worth?
Marriott Bonvoy points have no fixed cash value: they are worth what the stay you book would cost in cash. We rate a redemption Exceptional from 1.50¢ a point, Great from 1.00¢ and Fair from 0.70¢, so 100,000 points are worth about $700 to $1,500 in hotel stays when used well.

How do you work out what a point is worth?
Divide the cash price of a stay, taxes included, by the points it costs. A $1,500 stay for 100,000 points is 1.50¢ a point. That figure is the value per point, and it changes with every hotel and date. How we rate stays.
Is a higher or lower value per point better?
Higher. It means each point is doing more work, standing in for more cash. Below 0.70¢ a point our verdict is pay cash: save your points.
Can I turn Marriott points into cash?
Not directly. Points are worth most on hotel stays. Converting them to airline miles gives 1 mile for every 3 points with most airlines, before any bonus. Use them on a stay that rates Great or better. Check a stay.
Good to know
Each range is your balance multiplied by a value per point taken from the stays we track: the 10th percentile of all stays for a poor redemption, and the middle and the top 10% of stays worth redeeming for typical and great. It is an estimate of what the points can buy in hotel stays, not a cash value.
