Other Ways to Use Your Club Points | Value Ruler


Other ways to use your Club Points

Explore beyond resort stays—without guessing at the value

Inner Circle, cruises, and tours can all be memorable ways to travel. The Maxing Marriott Value Ruler helps you see what your Club Points are delivering before you commit.

Resort stays are generally the core use of Club Points. This page is for the other opportunities—the ones worth exploring when the experience, timing, or flexibility is right for you.

Your quick visual benchmark

The Value Ruler tells you what each point is getting you

We compare a like-for-like, all-in cash alternative with the Club Points required. The result is expressed as cents per point and placed on the ruler.
Poor → Fair → Good → Excellent · The 2027 Trust Club Point annual-cost benchmark is 86¢ per point.

How ownership level affects a tour

Start with the exact departure. The main Value Ruler uses the published points requirement for the offer and date against the same-date cash fare—without applying a particular owner-level discount or credit. That gives every owner one clear, neutral comparison.Your benefits may improve the result. Short-notice discounts, points reductions, and eligible credits can vary by ownership level and offer. Check your current Owner Benefit chart before deciding. Credits for cash extras are shown separately because they cannot always be applied to the underlying tour price, taxes, or fees.
