Marriott Bonvoy has announced details of its latest “buy points” promotion. It will run until September 25th, 2021.

The promotion is pretty simple. If you buy 2,000+ points, you will receive a mystery bonus. Luckily, the bonus is revealed before you make the purchase. But most reports suggest that members are receiving 40, 45 or 50% bonuses. My account received the 45% bonus…

Marriott’s most frequent promotion offers a 50% bonus. Therefore, you should definitely ignore this promotion if your personal mystery bonus is lower than 50%.

However, there is one possible exception…

When You Should Remember This Promotion

If you are already a member of Topcashback, you will know that they regularly offer members an additional $2.50 of cashback when spending at least $10. Click here to be reminded of a recent offer.

More interestingly, Topcashback will occasionally email members offering them a $10 bonus for spending at least $10.

What does this have to do with Marriott Bonvoy? Well… the purchase of Marriott points is processed by Points.com, which is available on the Topcashback website…

So… if you find yourself needing to spend $10 online and you can’t think of anything… you could spend $25 to buy 2,800 – 3,000 points from Marriott Bonvoy. (depending on your targeted bonus)

You would only earn 62 cents of cashback, but you could earn $2.50 or $10 on top. No matter how many Marriott points you have, acquiring 3,000 more points for a net cost of $15-22 is still worth a few minutes of effort…
