Marriott Releases 2021 Category Changes

Like previous years, Marriott has just released the planned category changes for 2021.

You can view more information here. Note that the changes will kick in on March 3rd.

The most affected countries appear to be United States and China. Only four properties in UK are on the list:

And the current Marriott redemption chart is as follows:

Note that the off-peak pricing includes 10% promotional discount valid until Feb 21st.

17,500 points for a hotel in central York during busy times is definitely a bargain, however I personally don’t quite like the extreme simplicity of Moxy’s hotel rooms. The Langley, on the other hand, sees a great hike from the initial Cat 5 to Cat 7, and redemption here no longer represents great value unfortunately.

If you have a plan to stay at any hotel on the list whose price is going to increase, lock in your reservation now as you can always cancel later.
