All Marriott hotels and resorts now "offer" variable pricing, with award rates that can change significantly [from one day to the next]( making it a bit more challenging for travelers to plan redemptions far in advance. As expected, the implementation of [Marriott Bonvoy]( peak and off-peak pricing isn't entirely equitable — for example, while the top-notch [St. Regis Maldives]( has roughly 15% of dates priced at the off-peak rate of 70,000 points per night, around 26% of dates are priced at the 100k peak rate, while the rest come in at the standard 85k. Get all caught up, with: - [New award pricing and Points Advance policy]( - [7 things to know about Marriott peak/off-peak]( - [Free hotel nights and other Bonvoy card perks]( If you've been eyeing a particular redemption, you'll want to search your dates again to see if the rate has changed. Keep in mind that rates are [recalculated monthly]( though, so it's worth keeping an eye on your reservations, and rebooking an award if the rate happens to drop. -Zach Honig, Editor-at-Large Posts in this newsletter contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.
