[HOTEL] Marriott Seasonal Awards
Every few months, Marriott offers Seasonal Awards that offer you 25% savings on the number of points required for a free reward night. It is not the most amazing deal, but it is still valuable if you can take advantage of it. It’s especially useful if you plan on using your points to book a stay anyway during this period of time.

Keep in mind that aside from the Christmas holidays, the above list is generally covering the low season, so if you find a hotel that is at a very affordable price, you are better off paying for the hotel room, bank some points and use the points during high season. Furthermore, don’t forget about the Chase Marriott Visa currently with a 30,000 sign up bonus and first year fee waived. Though I would try to look for a 50,000 sign up bonus if you can hold off.
