So, in this case, 270,000 Marriott points are approximately equivalent to 100,000 SPG points. With SPG, you get 5,000 more miles, but with Marriott you get a 7 night stay. If we ignore the differences, we can say that we would need 2.7 Marriott points per SPG point in order to break even.
Silver Elite Members spend at least 10 nights in Marriott hotels or Marriott Vacation Club resorts within a year and receive 20% additional Marriott Rewards points. So, instead of earning 10 points for each dollar spent at a Marriott, you earn 12 points. Gold Elite Members spend at least 50 nights/year in Marriott hotels and receive a 25% bonus. Platinum Elite Members spend at least 75 nights/year in Marriott hotels and receive a 50% bonus. Stays within the Marriott Vacation Club Collection of resorts count toward these Elite Levels.
