Completed my Marriott stay with a redemption value of $0.065 per point (7 nights in the Maldives). How’d I do? 😄

Very well

Wait till T-24 hours lol

I honestly don't know how the comment ended up here 😂

Sounds good. Frequent Miler values them at $0.075/point. For your reference—I use this all the time https://frequentmiler.com/reasonable-redemption-values-rrvs/

$0.0075 you mean 😉. I believe I crushed the $0.0171 maximum value too.

I would check your math...6.5 cents/point would be the best Marriott redemption perhaps ever when most places value them at 0.6-0.7 cents / point. Considering that you also did an odd number of nights (going in groups of 5 gives the best redemption due to the 5th night being free) I'm inclined to say you meant $0.0065 per point but I could be wrong.

Also not sure if you booked it pre-/-post dynamic price institution which would make this potentially even more crazy

Yeah that’s absurdly good redemption value. I think the best I ever got was around $0.035 and I thought I killed it

I got .08 for the maldives last NYE. Rate was over $5k a night plus taxes.

I calculated mine off the lowest rate possible, including group rates, that I could find vs std market rates. $2500 vs $3500.

Is it a red flag when a recruiter talks about unrealistic benefits like getting a chance to fly to another state just to visit the client HQ all expense-free? Or is it really a thing? Let me know if you have experience like this.
