Anyone have experience with Marriott’s new “dynamic” redemption rates? Did you feel you were using more points than if it was in the old system (i.e. category based, on/off-peak)? I don’t understand how a Fairfield/Springhill has the same redemption as a Westin/Sheraton in NYC… WT flying F

They’re dynamic but still within their old bands for 99% of their properties. Lots of bloggers have done analysis on this and it seems to be awash at this point except for a few of the 1% of properties

It’ll be a slow and steady migration towards 🗑 point redemptions. I’m finding it very difficult to find any properties in the 35-50k redemption range to use my certificates on

Just used points to book a trip for later this year that I previously booked (and cancelled) in 2020, basically a wash, some lower, some higher but not by much for both 3 star and 5 star ($700+ night) accommodations

Absolutely! Properties in Asia/India have tripled than standard points based on fixed categories before based on cash prices of the rooms.I am completely migrating off Bonvoy after this change and moving to Hyatt (venturing IHG’s newer program , considering Hyatts footprint in much smaller). Again purely based on point redemptions.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
