Bonvoy is trying to sell points (50k for $438) 😡🤬 it would only be fair if my 50K I am redeeming would have this value. In reality my 50K when I redeem them with Marriott is like $200...

Sounds like you're not being smart about how you redeem your Marriott points then

like

Booking hotels is the right idea but redemption rates (comparing the value of the points redeemed to the cost it would have been in $) are all over the place, so wait til you find the right redemption to use your points. Also important to use your points for 5th night free stays as well, that's an immediate 25% boost in value.
You can also get great value in specific instances from transferring Marriott points to airline partners, but you've gotta be intimately familiar with the ins and outs of the airline frequent flyer programs so for 90% of folks on this app I mostly wouldn't recommend that

That’s actually a pretty good deal — I just redeemed 40k for a $450 (+tax) night

It depends. Can get two nights at property that would have been $700 for two nights.
