Bonvoy's Silent Devaluation: Up to 16% More Points

Marriott Bonvoy quietly raised award prices across hundreds of hotels, with increases ranging from 2.4% to 15.6%. Examples include The Athenee Bangkok from 32,000 to 37,000 points and London EDITION from 107,000 to 115,000. Without an award chart, members may not notice until redemption. The changes particularly impact free night certificates at 35,000, 50,000, and 85,000 point thresholds, as small increases can push hotels beyond top-off limits of 25,000 points. Some 2027 pricing has not yet repriced, offering a brief window to lock in old rates.

The play: Search for 2027 award nights now to lock in pre-devaluation pricing before it fully rolls out.
