Marriott Rewards Hotel Directory shows 315 hotels worldwide in the new category 6 at 50,000 points.
58 of these hotels were priced at higher points rates prior to August 18 changes to Marriott Rewards hotel categories. 5 of these hotels were previously Ritz Carlton Tier 5 properties at 70,000 points. The other 53 hotels were SPG category 6 hotels at 20,000 points and 25,000 points in peak season.
While there are thousands of hotels that saw a points reduction in the lower reward categories, a much smaller proportion of new Marriott Rewards category 5-6-7 hotels are priced lower than they were before August 18.
Marriott Rewards softened the blow of high category hotel rewards increases by giving a temporary break on category 7 hotels that will rise again in price to Category 8 at 85,000 points standard rate in early 2019.
Marriott Rewards will introduce peak and off-peak season reward rates in 2019.
The 53 former category 6 SPG hotels in the charts below see a significant reduction in reward night cost, from former SPG peak season rate of 75,000 points, if booked at 50,000 points before peak season rates are reintroduced in 2019.
