Techie Reveals Details
Jharkhand Techie mentioned that he booked JW Marriott Masai Mara using 106,000 Marriot Bonvoy points per night for two people. He further stated that unless someone opts for paid activities, the cost will be zero.
Chowdhury explained that his lavish stay was nothing but because he used a total of 424,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. He revealed in his post, “I earned those Marriott Bonvoy points by transferring 3.26L Amex points. Amex allows you to transfer points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio. Plus, during their frequent campaigns, you get a 30% bonus. That’s how I got the 4.24L Marriott Bonvoy points.”

Chalo, it’s time for some myth-busting:
1. The price per night for two isn’t 3.5L, it’s actually 5.5L INR with taxes. For 5 nights, that totals 27.5L INR.
2. I offset that cost by using 424,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

Chowdhury is planning his next adventure to Singapore in October, which will be on reward points. He will be taking a first-class flight on Singapore Airlines for only Rs 3,000. He urges people to learn different point-earning techniques that help make travel cheaper.
