Westin Bora Bora Redemption
Here’s exactly how you can pull this off this DREAM vacation.
Head over to MaxMyPoint, search “The Westin Bora Bora”, and click the first result.
A calendar will appear to show point prices and you can "5" as the number of nights.
Remember, the 5th night is free when booking with points at Marriott properties.✅
Once you see some date that you like, we need to confirm availability on Marriott’s website - so head over to Marriott and run a search with the same information.
Make sure to check the box that says “Use Points/Awards”.
Here’s 5 random days in January for less than 260,000 points.
But slow your roll…
We totally get where you're coming from - 260,000 points is no small amount, so we have 3 different ways to make this trip possible.
1️⃣ Transfer Points
Chase is currently running a 65% transfer bonus from UR Points to Marriott right now.
260,000 points needed / 1.65 = 158,000 points transferred
That means that a transfer bonus could save you over 100,000 points on this booking!
2️⃣ Marriott Credit Card
The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card currently has a Limited Time Offer for 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy® Bonus Points after using your new card to make $6,000 in purchases within the first 6 months.
After meeting those minimum spend requirements, you would have more than 75% of the points needed to book.
This card also earns a minimum of 2X Marriott Bonvoy® Points for each dollar spent, so that would be another 12,000 points earned at a minimum ($6,000 spend requirement x 2X points).
That means you would only need to transfer an additional 29,000 UR Points (with the 65% transfer bonus) to give you the full 259,200 Marriott Points needed to book.
3️⃣ Buy Points
Marriott is running a 40% bonus on points purchases through June 23.
Although there are caps for the number of points you can buy, you can also pool points together inside of a Marriott account by sending up to 100,000 points per person.
So Player 1 buys the maximum number of points allowed - in this case, 182,000 points for $1,625:
Then Player 2 buys the remaining points for $750 and pools them together in Player 1’s account:
The math is 266,000 Marriott Points for a total of $2,375.
Heck of a deal ESPECIALLY considering cash rates for five nights at the Westin Bora Bora are close to $7,000.
Transfer points, sign up for a card, buy points, or a combination of each - you have options to book this property.
