In brief
Compare member rates, points and benefits
Start with equivalent rooms and terms. A loyalty benefit has practical value only if you can use it during your stay.
1. Check the rate and channel
Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors exclude certain third-party bookings. Read your programme rules and specific rate terms before counting on points or benefits.
2. Separate guaranteed and possible benefits
List services included in the rate separately from requests subject to availability. Confirmed breakfast is not equivalent to an hoped-for upgrade. Specify status, occupants and the exact brand.
3. Compare points and money
Record the full cash price, required points and any remaining cash payment. Divide the cash cost avoided by points used for your own comparison. The result describes one booking, not a permanent programme value.
4. Consider the whole stay
Transport, meals or stricter cancellation may offset room savings. Use the comparison calculator and deduct only expenses you will actually avoid. Check point refund conditions before booking.

Useful answers before booking
Should I book directly?
Compare both offers and applicable rules. Direct rates are not automatically cheapest; some benefits depend on the channel.
What is a point worth?
