I read on PointHacks that United is offering a 100% bonus when purchasing points. I believe from previous comments (nightelves?) that buying a Marriott Hotel + Air package triggers the same bonus points compared to buying miles outright.
According to Marriott, you get 132,000 United points for a 7-night Cat5 stay (which includes a 10% bonus, so 120,000 is the normal rate). Would I be right to say you now get 240,000 United points instead? And are United points considered a good currency, even after the upcoming devaluation (November 2017)?
I think it sounds too good to be true, but will be (very) happy to be proven wrong.
