Today, Marriott Bonvoy released details of their new limited-time promotion (Oct 6-13) called “Week of Wonders” for it’s members. This promotion might be of interest for anyone with upcoming Marriott hotel stays during the month of October.
Marriott’s “Week of Wonders” is actually multiple offers (with most finishing on Oct 13) which include:

Also, those with the Amex Marriott Bonvoy credit card can earn an additional 2,000 bonus points for each stay at a different Marriott hotel brand (starting with the second brand). To participate, you need to register before December 1, 2022.
Certainly, the best offer of this promotion is the award night sale for most Marriott hotels worldwide.
15% off award stays during October 2022
For Marriott hotel bookings made between now and October 13, 2022, for travel until October 31, 2022, members can get a 15% discount off the regular cost in Bonvoy points. This promotion is applicable to over 4,500 hotels worldwide but not all Marriott properties are participating in the promotion.
Marriott used to have an award chart to tell you how many points you could expect for a free hotel night. But that’s no longer the case since Marriott switched to dynamic award pricing in March 2022.
In this pricing model, the points rate reflects the underlying cash rate of the hotel. Thus, there is no set guidance on the number of Bonvoy points required for a free night.
Although, Marriott has stated that until the end of 2022, award pricing at more than 97% of properties should continue to range between off-peak and peak award costs.
Plus, Marriott has confirmed that their 5th night free benefit is still be available. So, if you book a 5-night stay with Bonvoy points, the cheapest night out of the five will be free.
Marriott hotel examples
For good value of your Bonvoy points, stay at the TownePlace Suites hotel in Petawawa, Ontario. This hotel has decent pricing ranging between 5,000 and 10,000 points per night with an average rate of 7,500 points/night.
If you book this Petawawa hotel in October, it would cost between 7,000 & 8,500 points per night.
Add in Marriott’s 5th night free benefit and you could stay for 5 nights at this hotel for as low as 30,000 points! This is exactly what I did when I last stayed at this hotel in March 2021 so check out my full review of the TownePlace Suites Petawawa.
Also, this promotion is also valid for other Marriott hotels . For example, you could stay overnight at the the Montreal Airport Marriott In-terminal hotel which generally costs 40,000 points per night
Summary
There are many offers available with Marriott’s “Week of Wonders” promotion. Certainly, the best offer for members would be 15% off award stays at the majority of Marriott hotels worldwide for stays until October 31, 2022.
For Canadians with any upcoming domestic travel plans, this could be a great opportunity to save on their stay at any one of the 261 Marriott properties in Canada.
But hurry, this Marriott off-peak pricing promotion is valid until October 13, 2022!
