Marriott Bonvoy Award Category Changes
Starting March 3, 2021, Marriott Bonvoy annual hotel category changes will take effect. Certain Marriott properties will be going up in category and others down. According to the list, 201 hotels will be changing category this year, with 150 dropping down and costing fewer points. Only 51 hotels will go up a category and therefore cost more points. These are some minor award changes, but it’s nice to see that majority of the properties involved will go down a category. You can see the full list and changes here!
