I just discovered that my rate went from 40:1 to 50:1 and below is why as stated in the FAQs...this is a new change, yes? There is now a 45:1 minimum, which is at least a small improvement over the 40:1 previous standard.

"The number of Club Points a Points Owner may trade for Marriott Bonvoy points annually depends on your Owner benefit level:

  • Owner and Select benefit level Owners may currently trade up to 50% of their Club Points and will receive 45 Marriott Bonvoy points for each Club Point traded.
  • Executive and Presidential benefit level Owners may trade up to 65% and will receive 50 Marriott Bonvoy points for each Club Point traded.
  • Chairman's Club benefit level Owners may trade up to 75% and will receive 55 Marriott Bonvoy points for each Club Point traded.
Each Club Point must always be traded in an initial increment of 250 Club Points, and 5 thereafter."
 
Changed mid 2025.

 
Marriott also increased what a deeded week could be traded for, from 100,000 bonvoy points to 150,000 bonvoy points. This can be done every other year.

Why don't they tell us these things in a general announcement or did I miss that too? I didn't see a pop up about it until I went to that page on the owner website to verify some information.

We were given this information at a presentation, as a selling point and to demonstrate that Marriott is listening to its owners. I agree it should be shared with all owners (unsure if they did or not).

For that linked thread, I had cut and pasted from an email I received on June 17th.

They only increased the amounts for certain deeded weeks. Not all of them. The frequency of conversion also varies based on the resort and perhaps also what you specifically bought.

I wondered if it was just certain weeks, it is for ours. When I bought in 2008, the 100K Bonvoy points went a lot further. Now even at 150K it is not a good value.
 
Ok, I will change my comment to why didn't they tell ME? No email received, nada, nil. Clearly I don't matter...I need to call my therapist :p
When did you purchase the MVC points?

Agreed. The Bonvoy points are getting constantly devalued. I don't blame them as every company seems to be doing the same thing. Alaska keeps advertising their loyalty program and all of the benefits you can get. People get excited when they get to Gold but it rapidly fades away when they find out on a 160 passenger 737 there are 110 people on the first class upgrade list and they are #102. Chasing loyalty is a fools errand.
