Ritz Carlton Reserve – bookable on points

[YC]

Just seen email from Marriott and checked a few properties. Seem to be bookable on points!

Not just points booking but full benefits by the looks of it

Would be nice if they could convince Bulgari too (I know it’s not their core consumer to redeem but earning and better treatment wouldn’t hurt

Unlikely to to happen – if anything Bulgari might go at it alone soon…

Better for both then.

Note these are UNCAPPED redemptions and Marriott’s own PR says that you can expect to pay up to 240,000 points per night.

The uncapped direction of the reward scheme might actually make it more likely for bulgari to start participating too. Currently there is value on booking with points on peak dates. Great there are a handful more aspirational properties
