Suggestions for blowing 1 million Marriott points? I’m looking for a nice property by the beach, with hot weather. (I also have 7 suite night upgrades if it helps.) I understand points are being devalued in March. But can my travel take place any time this year to get the full value?

I think we just book before March

Join the "all things points" bowl!

Have around 300k points and no plans for traveling anywhere. Am I able to somehow sell my points before the devaluation in March?

Why is everyone panicking? They devalue the points every year.

🤣I think I may now be a points hoarder as I don’t know when/if I will get more (and then I remember I don’t actually want any more!). But I apparently missed the devaluing memo!

Is this devaluation everyone’s talking about the annual adjustment of hotel categories or something else?

Whatever it says on Google, probably :)

Le meridian Maldives is still category 5. Overwater villa is 160k for 5 nights.

The devaluation is different because They’re moving to dynamic pricing, not a category chart. Essentially trying to tire point value to a $ value and elimination good roi redemptions.

You can transfer points to basically any airline and book some first class flights too

So my life’s work is no worth less?

thanks everyone! Any additional ideas besides Maldives for great beach / luxury?
