Bid on special ‘Week of Wonders’ Marriott auctions – and the WoW offers we missed

This article is sponsored by Marriott Bonvoy

Marriott Bonvoy has brought back ‘Week of Wonders’, giving you seven days of offers and promotions to get you back in the mood for travel.

We are looking at our pick of the ‘Week of Wonders’ offers over a number of articles this week. To see the full selection of deals, you should visit the ‘Week of Wonders’ website here.

If you are looking for something different to do with your points, Marriott has put together some exclusive Marriott Bonvoy Moments auctions.

What can you bid on?

The full global range of Marriott Bonvoy Moments ‘Week of Wonders’ auctions is here.

In the UK, you have a meet & greet with Craig David at The O2.

It’s a full package, including VIP access to Craig David, as part of his ‘Hold That Thought’ UK Arena Tour, two seats in the Marriott Bonvoy Luxury Suite and a hotel stay for two at the London EDITION.

The event takes place on Saturday 16th April 2022. The current high bid at the time of writing was 102,500 Marriott Bonvoy points.

For comparison, just booking the London EDITION hotel for that night on its own would cost 60,000 points.

If you have a lot of Bonvoy points …..
