How many Marriott Bonvoy points do you earn per dollar?
Marriott Bonvoy members earn 10 base points per US dollar of room rate at most brands (5 at Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Element; 2.5 at Marriott Executive Apartments). Elite status adds 10% (Silver) to 75% (Ambassador) on those base points, not on taxes. A co-branded card adds its own points on the whole bill, taxes included: up to 6 per dollar, for example with the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless. So a $300 night earns about 3,000 points with no status or card, or 7,320 with Ambassador status and the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, worth about $68 at 0.93¢ a point.
