Postcard Cabins now available to book using Marriott Bonvoy points
After being acquired by Marriott in 2024, Postcard Cabins began its integration into the Marriott Bonvoy program in May. At the time, only a handful of Postcard Cabins' 29 locations across the country were bookable through Marriott Bonvoy, and points redemptions were not yet available.
Now, the full portfolio of Postcard Cabins is bookable via Marriott Bonvoy for stays using cash or points, with nightly rates starting at under $150 or 27,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night (plus taxes and fees). Stays at Postcard Cabins will also earn points and elite night credits at Marriott's standard rate.
If you haven't yet been introduced to the brand, Postcard Cabins are luxury tiny cabins that let travelers connect with nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Each private cabin sleeps between two and four guests, with amenities like fully stocked kitchens, spa-inspired bath products and outdoor seating areas where you can dine alfresco or build a cozy fire at night.

Postcard Cabins locations are located within a two-hour drive of major cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, New York and Boston, so you are surrounded by nature but never too far off the beaten path (or from an airport).
Now that Postcard Cabins is fully integrated with Marriott Bonvoy, there are several ways to book your next glamping adventure using points.
Book Postcard Cabins with credit card points
In addition to Marriott Bonvoy points that you earn directly from holding a cobranded Marriott credit card, you can transfer points to Marriott Bonvoy from several popular credit card points programs, including Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards and Bilt Rewards.

You can transfer points from any of these programs to your Marriott Bonvoy account and use those points to book your stay. Unless there is a transfer bonus, all transfer ratios are 1:1 between these programs.
There are a few exciting welcome offers right now that can help you earn enough points to spend several nights in the great outdoors with Postcard Cabins:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees): Earn 125,000 points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees): Earn 75,000 points after spending $5,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening.
- The Platinum Card® from American Express: Find out your offer and see if you are eligible to earn as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards Points after spending $8,000 on purchases within the first six months of cardmembership. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer.
- American Express® Gold Card: Find out your offer and see if you are eligible to earn as high as 100,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer.
Book Postcard Cabins through a credit card portal
Rather than booking directly through Marriott, you can also book Postcard Cabins through your favorite credit card travel portal. Postcard Cabins are currently only bookable through the Chase Travel portal, not the American Express Travel portal.
Though the Chase Travel portal underwent changes this month, if you were a Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve cardholder prior to June 23, you can currently still redeem Ultimate Rewards points through the portal for 1.25 or 1.5 cents per point, respectively. However, the fixed rate through the travel portal will end Oct. 27, 2027.
If you are a Chase Sapphire cardholder after June 23, your points can be redeemed at a rate of 1 cent per point, unless a Postcard Cabins location becomes available for Points Boost, which will allow eligible cardholders to redeem points for up to 2 cents per point.
The example above shows a Sapphire Preferred redemption when booking through the Chase Travel portal. You can book a two-night stay at Postcard Cabins Western Catskills for an all-in price of $668.82 or 53,505 Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which will give you a value of 1.25 cents per point.
The cash price is slightly higher than if you were a Marriott Bonvoy member booking directly, but this also gives you the option of redeeming an annual travel credit if you have an eligible Chase card.
Should you transfer points to Marriott or book via a travel portal?
If you booked a two-night stay at Postcard Cabins Western Catskills in August on Marriott's website, it would cost $640 ($668 for nonmembers) or 155,000 Marriott points. This would give you a value of 0.4 cents per point.
TPG values Amex Membership Rewards points at 2 cents per point, Chase Ultimate Rewards points at 2.05 cents per point and Marriott Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents per point, per our June 2025 valuations. Therefore, if you transfer your credit card points to Marriott Bonvoy, you'd be losing more than half the value of your hard-earned rewards.
Although you'll lose some value of your points if you book through the Chase Travel portal, it still provides a much better value than using your Marriott points or transferring your credit card points.
Bottom line
At Postcard Cabins, you can drink your morning coffee by the campfire, go on long hikes in the woods and spend quiet nights gazing up at a star-filled sky without having to fuss with setting up a tent or forgoing a hot shower each day.
Plus, escaping the big city doesn't have to cost you a ton of money. Now, you can use Marriott points or transfer credit card points to book your next nature-filled getaway.
