Purchases of 2,000 or more points will get you a 25% discount. You can buy points for a low price. It isn't as good as some Marriott promotions, but it is still worth it if you want to redeem.

Stay for 5, Pay for 4 – Use points to book 5 nights in order to get one night free. Unlike some hotel programs that require that you have status (Hilton) or their credit card (IHG) to take advantage of a similar benefit, Marriott’s 5th night free benefit is available for all members.
Stay at top tier properties for less. Similar to buying points for low-category stays, buying points for stays at top tier properties could save you money based on the cash price of those rooms.
When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless Marriott is running a promotion that awards bonus points per night/stay which includes award nights.
Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out. Marriott does charge resort fees on award stays unlike Hyatt and Hilton, so that’s something to bear in mind depending on which property you’re booking.
Marriott Bonvoy points purchases are made via Points.com. You can click through from a shopping portal to earn a little cashback on the purchase, thereby reducing your net cost for the points – you can find the current rates here.
Points.com purchases don’t code as travel, so it’s best to pay with a card that earns at a higher rate for everyday spend or on a card where you’re working on a minimum spend requirement.
