The chain&#8217;s loyalty program \u2014 <span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/loyalty-programs\/award-travelers-guide-to-marriott-bonvoy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott Bonvoy<\/a><\/span> \u2014 gives you plenty of ways to earn and redeem points for stays around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>However, you may want to look beyond just free nights when burning your Bonvoy points. If you&#8217;re in the market for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, that could be just one Marriott redemption away thanks to the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, I had the chance to cheer on the U.S. men&#8217;s national soccer team as part of Marriott&#8217;s sponsorship of the World Cup \u2014 and even though the tournament is coming to and end soon, I saw firsthand just how valuable the Moments platform can be.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why you should look at redeeming your points for a <span><a href=\"https:\/\/moments.marriottbonvoy.com\/en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott Bonvoy Moments<\/a><\/span> package.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">Overview of Marriott Bonvoy Moments<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar, the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform offers a variety of curated packages you can book with your Marriott points, covering culinary, entertainment, sports, art and lifestyle experiences.<\/p>\n<p>These typically fall into three categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed-point redemptions: These packages are available for a set number of points.<\/li>\n<li>Live auctions: These packages allow members to bid a set number of points, with the highest bidder winning the package when bidding closes.<\/li>\n<li>1-point drops: These are limited packages available for just one Marriott point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, it&#8217;s a combination.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on July 28, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time, the platform will launch a new package with a private Myles Smith performance in New York City. There will be 100 packages available at one point, while eight will be auctioned off.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_container__YVxAW tw-border tw-border-gray-2\"><picture class=\"tw-flex tw-items-center tw-justify-center tw-opacity-0\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__xvcP4\">\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<form class=\"jsx-606422965 newsletter-form\">\n<div class=\"jsx-606422965 EmailCapture_confirmation__AJ4nI EmailCapture_noCheckbox__2BHzb   &#10;          \">\n<p class=\"tw-text-xs-regular !tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5 tw-max-w-lg\">By signing up, you will receive newsletters and promotional content and agree to our<!-- --> <a class=\"!tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/terms-of-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms of Use<\/a> <!-- -->and acknowledge the data practices in our<!-- --> <a class=\"!tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5\" href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/privacy-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.

As you&#8217;d expect, these rotate relatively quickly, but here&#8217;s a snapshot of those you can pick up (or bid on) right now.<\/p>\n<h3>Curated beverage experiences<\/h3>\n<p>One of the newest additions to the platform is a <span><a href=\"https:\/\/moments.marriottbonvoy.com\/en-us\/moments\/collection\/1051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selection of beverage tastings<\/a><\/span> across the globe, some of which include transportation and even stays in nearby Marriott properties. You can ride the bullet train to sip sake in Japan, taste Buffalo Trace bourbon in Kentucky or indulge in Champagne from Taittinger in Reims, France. There are even pasta-making classes in the test kitchen at Marriott&#8217;s headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, current bids on these packages are as low as 50,000 points.<\/p>\n<h3>Luxury suites at top concerts<\/h3>\n<p>Marriott has partnerships with some of the world&#8217;s top concert venues, even offering luxury suites to enjoy select shows in comfort. Right now, you can snag a pair of tickets to see Megan Moroney or Benson Boone at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, or even catch Ariana Grande at The O2 in London, England.<\/p>\n<p>There are even packages to catch Celine Dion in Paris this fall \u2014 some of which include a stay at a Marriott property in <span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/hotel\/best-hotels-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the City of Lights<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Current prices for these packages start at just 50,000 points at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/travel\/use-points-and-miles-for-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9 ways to use points and miles for an incredible trip to Paris right now<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>High-end culinary packages<\/h3>\n<p>There are also a variety of current (and future) packages centered around high-end culinary experiences. You can enjoy a <span><a href=\"https:\/\/moments.marriottbonvoy.com\/en-us\/moments\/21894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gastronony adventure in Kyoto<\/a><\/span> (with a stay at the Ritz-Carlton Kyoto) or indulge in a <span><a href=\"https:\/\/moments.marriottbonvoy.com\/en-us\/moments\/21964\/auction\/115744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tasting menu<\/a><\/span> at Michelin-starred Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas \u2014 followed by tickets to KA, a Cirque du Soleil show, and a stay at the MGM Grand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/dining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best dining credit cards of July 2026<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Upcoming Formula 1 releases<\/h3>\n<p>For any F1 fans, mark your calendars, because a handful of exciting packages are coming in the next few weeks. The <span><a href=\"https:\/\/moments.marriottbonvoy.com\/en-us\/moments\/collection\/1181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch Grand Prix<\/a><\/span> comes first, with four packages launching on Monday, July 20. Then there are seven packages for the Madrid Grand Prix that&#8217;ll go live on Monday, August 10.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Marriott Bonvoy offers much more value beyond free nights in its global portfolio of hotels. With the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform, travelers can unlock some incredible redemptions \u2014 whether it&#8217;s a concert, sporting event, culinary experience or more. And I was fortunate enough to experience this firsthand at the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-3874346954 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-2453190082 full-width-auto-height-image\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;width:100%\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 756px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2026\/07\/20260716_Marriott-Bonvoy-Moments_NEwen-4.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-3874346954 figcaption\">NICK EWEN\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the throng of U.S. fans sang along to &#8220;Take Me Home, Country Roads&#8221; at the end of a hard-fought victory over Australia, it was pretty special to realize that such a memory was made possible by a hotel loyalty program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/hotel\/unlock-memorable-experiences-marriott-bonvoy-moments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marriott is most well known as one of the biggest hotel companies on the planet, with a portfolio that boasts over 9,000 properties across 38 brands in nearly 150 different countries.
