Marriott sells Bonvoy points directly to members at $12.50 per 1,000 points — about 1.25¢ each — capped at 100,000 points per calendar year after a 30-day membership wait. MileMarketplace lists real Bonvoy points below that retail rate, delivered by member transfer or booked straight into your stay or airline award. Live offers today start from $0.007/point ($75 per 10,000 points). Nothing is charged until you've reviewed and approved the exact total.
How much do Marriott Bonvoy points cost?
Marriott's own retail price for Bonvoy points is $12.50 per 1,000 points — about 1.25¢ each — capped at 100,000 points per calendar year. Independent valuations put a Bonvoy point at roughly 0.8¢, so buying at Marriott's full retail rate is rarely a good deal on its own.
MileMarketplace lists Bonvoy points below Marriott's retail rate — 1 live offer today. Every order breaks down the same way: the points cost, a 5%service fee, and — if we're booking a stay or an airline award for you — any taxes or resort fees at cost, with no markup. See live pricing on the Marriott Bonvoy points page.
| Where | Price per point |
|---|---|
| Marriott (direct) | ~1.25¢ ($12.50 / 1,000 points) |

What can you do with Marriott Bonvoy points?
Bonvoy points book free nights across Marriott's full range of brands, from everyday stays up to luxury flagships like Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis. Redemption rates are dynamic and vary by property and date — award nights can run from a few thousand points at a standard-category hotel to 100,000–150,000+ points a night at Marriott's top-tier luxury resorts, such as its Maldives portfolio.
Bonvoy points can also transfer to a range of airline partners — commonly at a 3:1 ratio, plus periodic bonus tiers, landing within a few days — so a points top-up can fund an airline award instead of a hotel stay. Confirm the current ratio and partner list before you transfer. Buying miles directly for an award instead? Compare that path on our guide to the best place to buy airline miles. For how Marriott stacks up against Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG, see our hotel points guide.
Is buying Marriott Bonvoy points worth it?
It depends on the price, not the sticker on Marriott's own store. Buying at or near Marriott's 1.25¢ retail rate is a near-guaranteed overpay against the roughly 0.8¢ independent value; buying meaningfully below that value is where Bonvoy points earn their keep.
The strongest case for buying is a top-up — you already hold most of the points for a specific redemption and need a few thousand more to complete it. The next-strongest case is a below-value price against a stay or award you've already priced in cash: compare that cash rate to what the points would cost you here before you buy.

Marriott Bonvoy points — worked examples
Weekend top-up
You're 15,000 points short of a 2-night stay at a mid-tier property. Buying that top-up below Marriott's 1.25¢ retail rate can beat paying the remaining nights in cash.
Luxury redemption
A luxury-tier resort night priced near 120,000 points can run well into four figures in cash. Buying those points below independent value, then having us book the stay in your name, can beat paying cash outright.
Airline top-up by transfer
Short on airline miles for a business-class award? Buy Bonvoy points below retail, then transfer them to a partner airline (commonly 3:1) instead of buying miles directly.
Illustrative only — always confirm the live points price and the cash rate for your specific stay or award before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to buy Marriott Bonvoy points here than from Marriott?
Generally, yes — MileMarketplace lists Bonvoy points below Marriott's own $12.50-per-1,000 retail price. Compare today's live listings on the Marriott Bonvoy points page before you buy.
Can I transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to airline miles?
Yes. Bonvoy points transfer to a range of airline partners, commonly at a 3:1 ratio plus periodic bonus tiers, usually landing within a few days. Confirm the current ratio and partner list before you transfer.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes — $50. Tell us how many points you need, or the stay or award you want booked, and MileMarketplace confirms an exact total before anything is charged.
What's the difference between a points transfer and a booked stay?
With a transfer, Bonvoy points land directly in your own Marriott account and you book the stay yourself. With a booking, our team reserves the stay — or a partner-airline award — directly in your name, so you don't need an existing Marriott balance at all.
Is it safe to buy Marriott Bonvoy points this way?
Yes. MileMarketplace holds your payment until your points or booking are delivered, and a booked stay or award is confirmed directly in your name so you can verify it yourself.
