Our Verdict

Marriott offered a 20% discount in May. If anything market conditions since then have gotten worse, so it’s interesting to see Marriott try to offer a lower discount here. If you’re going to purchase these remember:

• Use your Marriott card to earn 6x Bonvoy points, or any credit card should code as Travel for the travel category bonus.
• Reports indicate that this will work to trigger the $300 Brilliant credit too (though that credit now works at Restaurants, anyway, so easy to use up), despite official reports saying it won’t.
