You can’t argue with it…
Marriott Rewards “Moments” have quickly become one of the most aspirational ways to use points. There’s no one size fits all, and not every “moment” will appeal to everyone, but chances are at least one moment really will wow you – and fortunately, some of these “moments” last a lot longer. From VIP concert tickets to private Michelin starred chef dinners and ultra luxurious hotel getaways, somehow these gems remain under the radar. We’ve taken a look at the final “bid” price for some of the coolest moments, so here’s proof…
