Also: Book Marriott awards today [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Mar 28, 2022 BOOK MARRIOTT AWARDS TODAY The day Marriott loyalists have worried about for months is almost here: the start of dynamic pricing. [Marriott is dropping its award charts]( on March 29, so today is your last day to lock in bookings at current award chart rates. On March 29, award pricing at about 3% of Marriott properties will become [fully dynamic](. Award pricing at the other 97% of Marriott properties will remain within the current award chart pricing ranges for stays through the end of 2022. If you're looking ahead to early 2023 trips, now is the time to lock in those stays since any beyond 2022 will not follow current award chart ranges.
