If you will use before august and have no points sure. Else wait until august as if you have status you’ll probably be earning points a lot faster. If plat elite spg is 12 marriott points now, will be 17.5 after the merge of the programs.

99% of the time, buying points/miles is a bad deal - this is no exception. The only time it might make sense is if you only need a little more points for a specific redemption and you don't have another way to get the points
