Is it a Tuesday during the middle of winter in Bismarck, North Dakota? You'll likely need fewer points. Is it a Saturday in the summer and you want to stay in Athens before embarking on a Mediterranean cruise? Expect to cough up more points.<\/p>\n<p>Aim to redeem Marriott Bonvoy<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> points above the average of 0.93\u00a2 per point that AwardWallet users have gotten in recent redemptions. To find this number, divide the cash cost of the room by the number of points required. That can help you decide if you want to redeem points or not.<\/p>\n<p>When you're on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/Marriott.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott.com<\/a> (or the mobile app), make sure you check the option &#8220;Use Points\/Awards&#8221; to use your points.
