Want to boost your Marriott Bonvoy balance without even packing a suitcase? Marriott Vacation Club is offering two deals that could be right up your alley. First, you can snag up to 20,000 (or more!) Bonvoy points just by attending a 90-minute virtual timeshare presentation. That's right, you can earn points while still in your pajamas!
Alternatively, if you're looking for a quick getaway, they're offering a three-night resort stay for $299 plus 5,000 points. Basically, you are paying for a low cost stay to hear their timeshare pitch.
Why should you care? Well, 20,000 points can get you a free night (or more!) at certain Marriott properties. It's a relatively easy way to top off your account for a future reward stay, especially if you're close to your dream redemption. Just be prepared for the sales pitch – timeshare presentations can be persuasive, so go in with a plan and stick to it if you're not interested in buying!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
