How to book with Marriott points: practical steps
Follow these steps to redeem Bonvoy points for your stay:
- Sign into your Marriott Bonvoy account.
- Search the hotel by name or location near Joshua Tree National Park.
- Select the “Use Points” option when viewing rates.
- Review cancellation terms and any taxes or resort fees payable in cash.
- Confirm the redemption and keep your reservation number.
Quick tip: Availability for points nights can fluctuate. Check weekdays and off-peak dates for better options.
Points value and booking strategies to consider
Exact redemption rates vary by date and room type. To get more from your points, try these approaches:
- Book midweek nights for lower point costs.
- Combine points with cash if inventory is tight.
- Use last-minute availability searches for potential deals.
- Look for Marriott promotions that boost earning or reduce redemption costs.
Remember: Compare the cash rate to the point cost to judge value per point before booking.
Best times to visit Joshua Tree and plan your stay
The most comfortable months are fall, winter, and spring. Summer days can be very hot.
- Peak season: November through March — cooler temps, higher demand.
- Shoulder seasons: April–May and September–October — good balance of weather and crowds.
- Summer: Less crowding but prepare for heat and limited outdoor comfort.
Activities to plan: Hiking, rock climbing, photography, and stargazing. Book guided excursions in advance.
Nearby attractions and things to know before you go
