See Manchester United and AC Milan in Cardiff by redeeming your Marriott Bonvoy hotel points

Marriott Bonvoy has made 10 football hospitality packages available for points on its ‘Moments’ experiences page.

The tickets are for the International Champions Cup game between Manchester United v AC Milan in Cardiff on 3rd August.

The package includes two tickets, “food and beverages” before the game and “great seats for the match” – which are not totally helpful descriptions of what, exactly, is included.

Bidding starts at 30,000 points and ends on the 30th July.

Assuming that you can pick up a package for the minimum bid, you are paying £150 (based on our valuation of a Bonvoy point at 0.5p).  With adult tickets running from £28 to £68, this is a decent deal if they are top price seats given the hospitality included.
