Dynamic pricing yet?

[RTS]

Just wondering, has Marriott’s dynamic pricing taken affect fully yet?

IME, yes. The 2 Marriott properties I’ve got booked on points over Xmas are now a lot more than when I made the redemptions, in one case double the points we paid!

Yeah forget their promise of 2023 with just a move within ranges till then. Future bookings at all properties have gone utterly haywire for me. I’ll likely burn off existing points in the Gulf during summer 2023 – cash rates are surprisingly high for typical Gulf summers due to £ value and the demand for long term stays by Russians. So it’s not the worst use of points.

The suite at the Key West Marriott Beachside which cost us 360k points for 5 nights in December is now 527,500 on those dates. Once we’ve used our stashes I think we’re done with Marriott!

No.

‘October’ was meant to be the roll out date but I agree that it appears to be in place for 2023 bookings. That said, it is utterly illogical in terms of pence per point across different hotels in the same city.

Yes it’s very much in place now, but like IHG it is not clearly dyanamic as the pricing doesn’t make much sense. Hilton have the edge there, albeit that’s not necessarily a good thing.
