A list of hotel and resort properties which are increasing or decreasing in category was recently released for the new Marriott Bonvoy frequent guest loyalty program effective as of Tuesday, March 5, 2019…
The Ultimate List of Category Increases and Decreases 2019 for Marriott Bonvoy Hotel and Resort Properties
…and the bad news is that of the total of 323 hotel and resort properties which are affected by the category changes, only 37 hotel and resort properties — or only approximately 11.45 percent — will require the redemption of fewer Marriott Bonvoy points per night. The remaining 286 hotel and resort properties will require the redemption of more Marriott Bonvoy points per night.
164 of those hotel and resort properties are located in the United States alone; and only three of them will require fewer Marriott Bonvoy points.
The good news — if you want to call it that — is that no hotel or resort property will change by more than one category.
Categories and Marriott Bonvoy Points Required
Here a list of categories and the amount of Marriott Bonvoy points which are required to be redeemed for a stay of one night within each category — keeping in mind that Category 8 will not be in effect until Tuesday, March 5, 2019:
| Hotel Category | Hotel Reward Redemption |
|---|---|
| 1 | 7,500 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 2 | 12,500 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 3 | 17,500 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 4 | 25,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 5 | 35,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 6 | 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 7 | 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
| 8 | 85,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night |
Do not forget that when you redeem enough Marriott Bonvoy points for four consecutive nights, a fifth night is included free of charge.
Complete List of Category Changes of Hotel and Resort Properties
A complete list — which can be fully sorted and searched — of hotel and resort properties that are affected by the changes in category is below, which is a new feature of The Gate and replaces the traditional static list on which each hotel and resort property was highlighted in red and green. On this list, hotel and resort properties which moved down a category — and therefore require fewer Marriott Bonvoy points to redeem — are highlighted in green.
With this list, you can display your choice of 10, 20, 25, 50 or 100 items at one time. You can then click on the triangles in each column to sort by ascending or descending order. You can also perform a simple search by just typing in a specific term for which you would like to search.

Summary
I could not get the original chart — which Marriott released in Portable Document Format, or .pdf — to format properly into this article when I imported it; so I created the list manually. Please let me know of any errors which may be in this article so that I may correct them — and also let me know if there is any additional functionality which I can add to the list.
As for the changes itself — well, by many accounts, this is a devaluation. The least Marriott International, incorporated with its new Bonvoy frequent guest loyalty program is brought about some more positive category changes…
