What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?
I’m contemplating 40k points vs $168 including taxes at a category 4 location

Each point is worth 0.8 cent

On the surface yes. But it varies based on your status. You have to calculate how many points you will get by paying cash and factor that in. That amount will vary based on the point multipliers in your status.

Do the $168 for sure

That’s a horrible deal, 40,000 points is a lot in general so don’t do that unless the cost otherwise is at least several hundred dollars

Just did 50k for close to 400

Pay the $$

No question the $168 is the better deal.

When is using points the better deal 😩

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
