Marriott Bonvoy has quietly increased award night costs by an average of 5-10% across its network, marking a mild but widespread devaluation of points

## Summary

Marriott Bonvoy has implemented a widespread increase in award costs, with points requirements rising by an average of 5-10% across the program's properties. This change, flagged by LoyaltyLobby, represents a devaluation of the currency as the hotel chain adjusts its dynamic pricing formula. The devaluation is described as mild enough to go unnoticed by many members but significant enough to impact redemption value, with average redemption values dropping to around 0.56 cents per point in markets like Bangkok

## Why it matters

Affects United Airlines loyalty members and route planners. Spans 2 hotel programs (Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy).
