Marriott Bonvoy's 35% Discount Ends December 7: How to Bag Free Holiday

Marriott Bonvoy Points: Load Up, Stack Up, Travel Free

Points-per-rupee deals rarely look this good. Marriott Bonvoy just bumped up their buying bonus to 35% on smaller purchases, 40% if you go big. The catch? Only until December 7. This is when Indian travellers should care about the maths.

Normally, the purchase rate for Bonvoy point is $12.50 USD per 1,000 points, which equals 1.25 cents per point (about ₹1.11 at current rates). With this offer, you're looking at 0.89 cents per point (roughly ₹0.79). That's a solid 29% straight-up savings without doing anything special. Real money, not marketing speak.

Exchange rate used: 1 USD = ₹88.76 (as of November 2025)

You can buy between 2,000 to 39,000 points and pocket 30% bonus. Go larger (40,000+) and grab 35% bonus. Smart bit: this year alone, you can purchase up to 200,000 points instead of the usual 150,000. That's an extra 50,000 points for whoever needs them.

A night at an ITC Grand Goa - the fancy luxury one - runs 40,000 to 50,000 points. Do the maths: you could snag a free weekend getaway just by timing this right. No flights paid, no hotel bill. Just points.

The offer runs from October 9 to December 7. Any purchase outside this window? Standard rates. The points land in your account within 72 hours, so no waiting around.
