Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Marriott Bonvoy’s new 25,000-point certificate top-off means more properties are within reach. With the new top-off, 35,000-point certificates can book 92.3% of Marriott properties, while 50,000-point certificates can book 96.2% of properties. The change also makes 85,000-point certificates cover nearly the entire Marriott portfolio.
Examples of newly accessible properties include the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club in Miami Beach, the W Philadelphia, and the Moana Surfrider in Honolulu.
The higher top-off limit could make resort stays or family trips easier to book.
The data highlights how much of the portfolio is already within reach of these certificates.
The escape is carefully planned, but sometimes it’s just about finding the right hotel.
