Last Day to Book Marriott Awards Before Devaluation
Today is the last day to book a Marriott award stay before many properties go up a category and cost more points to redeem for a free stay. There will be a new category 9 that has a handful of hotels in it from mostly big cities. A lot of category 4 properties that once were able to be redeemed for getting a promotion and credit card sign up free night (category 1-4) will no longer be available because they are being bumped to category 5 or 6. This is not good for the points world as it will obviously take more points to get to where you want to go cheaper. So if you have some stashed points, go out and book something before tomorrow!
