I love using miles to fly around the world in first class and stay in 5 star hotels for free, but there’s something special about using them for other once in a lifetime experiences.

Marriott may no longer auction off VIP baseball playoff experiences that I loved back in the SPG days, but it’s always worth looking at what they have on offer.

Here are some Marriott Moments that caught my eye:

• 2 seats in Marriott Bonvoy’s Luxury Suite for Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh on 6/14: Redeem for 55K points
• 2 seats in Marriott Bonvoy’s Luxury Suite for Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh on 6/15: Redeem for 55K points
• 2 Wrigley Field Club Box seats, various games: Redeem for 30K points
• Have Your Child Announce “Play Ball” at Wrigley Field before the Chicago Cubs vs. Baltimore game on 6/18: Current high bid: 57.5K points
• Receive On-Field Access for Visitor’s Batting Practice before the Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Game on 6/27: Current starting bid: 45K points
• 2 seats in Marriott Bonvoy’s Luxury Suite for Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia on 6/29: Redeem for 55K points

• Have Your Child Take The Field Alongside The Chicago Cubs Before They Play S. Louis at Wrigley Field on 7/23: Redeem for 55K points
• Ultimate NFL Experience: Attend Every Regular Season Away Game of Your Favorite NFL Team: Current high bid: 857.5K points
  • Package includes:
  • Two (2) tickets in stadium seats to every regular season away game of your favorite NFL team.
  • Maximum of nine (9) away game trips
  • 2-night stay at local Courtyard by Marriott property for each of 8-9 regular season away games. Checking in the day before the NFL game. Checking out the day after the NFL game
  • Roundtrip travel for two (2) in United Economy® to each away game
  • Outbound flight must be booked for the day before the game and the return flight must be booked for the day after the game

I reached out to Marriott’s Media Relations team about the NFL package to learn what would happen if someone who is Sabbath Observant would win, as the terms state that you must travel on Saturday. They responded  that, “We would make every effort to accommodate the member’s needs.”

If I liked going to football games as much as I liked going to baseball games, I’d be all over that one!
