Global List: St. Regis Marriott Bonvoy 50K Free Night Certificate Redemptions
50K Free Night Certificates can be earned through promotional signup bonus that often comes up on either the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and Amex Marriott Bonvoy Business Card in the counts of 3-5x. You could also earn them by spending $15,000 in a calendar year with the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy or Bountiful.
After figuring out Marriott’s secret category assignment, the 50K Free Night Certificates require much more consideration than the 35K Free Night Certificates due to the nature in how they’re usually acquired (through signup bonus).
| Category | Minimum/Night | Maximum/Night |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5,500 | 16,000 |
| 2 | 10,000 | 23,000 |
| 3 | 15,000 | 29,500 |
| 4 | 21,000 | 50,000 |
| 5 | 30,000 | 69,000 |
| 6 | 35,000 | 81,000 |
| 7 | 44,000 | 102,000 |
| 8A | 59,500 | 130,000 |
| 8B | 52,000 | 106,000 |
| 9A | 80,000 | 140,000 |
| 9B | 82,000 | 126,000 |
| 9C (StR/RC Maldives) | 70,000 | 164,000 |
| RC Reserve Zadun (Cat 11) | 131,000 | 212,000 |
| RC Reserve Dorado Beach (Cat 12) | 170,000 | 254,000 |
| Nujuma, RC Reserve (Cat 12) | 163,000 | 299,500 |
Disappointingly enough, the potential of the 50K FNC is massively similar to 35K FNC mostly due to the max allowed 15K points topup that’s not enough to even guarantee some Category 5 hotels, let alone Category 6. It’s important to recognize that before taking advantage of the 50K certificate signup bonuses.
Below is a chart that displays the difference between 35K and 50K FNC’s.
| Category | 35K FNC | 50K FNC |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Guaranteed; topups may be needed | Guaranteed without topups |
| 5 | Good chances with topup | Great chances with topups; guaranteed at some hotels, but some Cat 5's may charge up to 69K points |
| 6 | Requires planning and/or going off-peak seasons | Better chances, but still require planning |
| 7 | Miniscule even with max 15K points topup at very few Cat 7 hotels | Requires planning and/or going off-peak seasons |
| 8 | N/A | Miniscule at few properties |
In turn, most of this list will overlap with the 35K FNC redemption list for St. Regis hotels. But, the 50K certs do unlock the potential for Category 7 and even a few Category 8 hotels. However, they do require you to plan your trip around the redemption!
Some notable additions to the St. Regis list for potential 50K certs redemption are located in Canada, Japan, and more options within the United States and UAE.

Make sure to look at this list first before taking advantage of 50K FNC credit card offers to know which hotels around the world you can potentially book along with up to 15K points topup.
