What your points are worth
Marriott prices award nights dynamically, so the points needed move with the cash rate and the date. Value comes from booking when the points price is low relative to cash, and from five-night stays, where the cheapest night is free. Points also convert to dozens of airline programs, mostly at 3:1; the table below covers the US airlines and the exceptions to the transfer bonus.

| 10,000 | $70 |
| 25,000 | $175 |
| 50,000 | $350 |
| 100,000 | $700 |
