(Photo by Ben Smithson/The Points Guy) (Photo by Ben Smithson/The Points Guy) It’s one of those hotels I’ve noticed each time I’ve visited Times Square but never thought to actually stay there. Times Square is in Midtown, and the hotel itself is literally right in the middle of Times Square. ![]() It’s difficult to think of a more central location in New York than the Marriott Marquis. If you stay with Marriott often, consider a card like the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card, which earns 6x points on eligible purchases at hotels participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program and offers a valuable up-to-50,000-point anniversary free night, an up to $100 luxury property credit on select cash bookings at Ritz-Carlton and St. I paid for my stay with that card, and a few days later I noticed my 14,076 points (9,261 base + 2,315 elite bonus + 2,500 extra) had posted to my account. I currently don’t have any Marriott co-branded cards in my wallet, but I have Bonvoy gold status that comes as a perk of The Platinum Card® from American Express (enrollment required). Those 50,000 Bonvoy points for a standard night are worth around $400, based on TPG’s current valuations, but with cash rates going for around $330 per night for a base deluxe king room, it made more sense to pay cash and save the points for another day. The Marriott Marquis Times Square is a Category 6 property in the Bonvoy loyalty program, meaning you need 40,000 points per night off-peak, 50,000 for a standard night and 60,000 for peak dates.
