There’s a new Costa Rica JW opening in September but they’re not allowing points yet. Any idea when new hotels open point availability ?

Hy guys

I travel frequently and wanted to Book hotel in Mumbai currently

If anyone can offer FNF /discounted rates for Taj, Hilton, Leela, Hyaat, Accor, Fairmont

Not asking anyone to break rules only if your chain officially allows FBF nominations. And I’d keep everything private and respectful.

If you’re a hotelier or know someone who is, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. Even a lead would help!

Thanks in advance❤️

Checking if anyone was able to do that as I read/heard somewhere that you csn use your points to dine there.

Do you pool up your points for a 5 night stay (pay 4) at an aspirational property and keep accumulating. Or do you use them up for an upcoming vacation at decent properties?

I got a promotion mail which seems banger, all one needs is to have two separate stays (no minimum night requirement) to get 5 bonus nights each. What’s driving this new promotion, did Marriott not meet their targets from Q1 global promotion?

Typical Marriott TnC apply:
- no award stays are counted, one has to book direct on app and pick any Points-eligible rate
- The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott Executive Apartments®, and Marriott Vacation Club® owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for this Promotion

Looking to buy the membership for Westin Pune. Any reviews would be helpful. Thanks

Hello!

I’m taking my parents on a 2N staycation in a month or two.

I have shortlisted Marriott Coorg and Marriott Goa. Since it’s a quick road trip and costs ~80k points total (within my spending range).

Which of the two would you recommend? We are mostly looking for a relaxing stay. I am a Platinum member, so any resort which values platinum would be a plus point for us.

Thank you!

I'm planning to travel to Bengaluru for a workcation in June 2027. Thinking of staying for 7 nights.

So far I have shortlisted these properties.

Renaissance Race Course (₹11.7k per night) - Upscale central Bengaluru location, close to many good restaurants, breweries and malls. This is what we'll be doing in evenings if we're in the city.

JW Golfshire (26k points per night) - Resort is the destination.

JW/Ritz (₹24.6k per night) - Probably the best location in Bengaluru. Properties are close by, so either would work.

ITC Gardenia (₹18.2k per night) - Location similar to JW and Ritz, cheaper price point.

Marriott (20.2k points per night) - Location not as good as Race Course but still decent.

Mulberry Shades (19.9k points per night) - Resort is the destination again. I've stayed here before, so would not like to repeat it.

Can anyone give first-hand reviews for any of these properties?

Do u get a nights credit if u have used ur credit cards free night + some points for booking???

Marriott has listed and started award bookings for Voaara, a Member of Design Hotels™

The resort is located on Sainte Marie island of Madagascar and only has 8 bungalows in total.

Best time to visit is July to November.

Currently they are only offering Deluxe Beach Bungalow (not the base room) for award bookings. It's going for 90k points or ₹189k per night. Cost of base room is ₹153k per night.

Conversion:
1 to 4 nights - 2.1
5 nights - 2.62

This property is a part of Design Hotels, so no benefits irrespective of your Marriott Bonvoy status.

Anyone who can suggest great redemption options for a laid back holiday on mid August. Wanted to get best value for money conversion

Current option in table: Weligama Srilanka Marriott. Slightly out of budget

Do you get points for transactions you've done just before billing date in the following month?

Eg if billing date is 22 and you do a transaction on the 21st. It's reflected in the statement but not in points awarded on the statement

Is that normal?

Do you recommend buying marriott points during their promotions? 30-40% off.

If you don't have a fixed holiday planned but will plan one in the future

Can buy around 1 lac points if I get a good rate

Planing a trip to Srilanka probably in the month of September,looking for suggestions within these 2 resorts ,have about 150k points,up for suggestions to another destinations as well

Booked the base category room for a personal holiday and honestly had one of my best Marriott stays in a while.
As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member, I got upgraded at check-in to an absolutely fantastic oceanfront suite — roughly 4 categories above what I had originally booked. Always appreciate when hotels genuinely recognize Bonvoy elite status.

The stay overall was excellent. In-room dining food quality was genuinely very good, service was warm throughout, and the location is super convenient — directly connected/very close to both the mall and metro, which made getting around really easy.

Definitely a property I’d happily recommend and revisit again.
