You can redeem Marriott Rewards points to enroll in TSA PreCheck. It costs 25,000 Bonvoy points for an authorization code that waives the standard $85 application fee for TSA PreCheck.
To purchase an authorization code for TSA PreCheck, head to the Marriott Rewards redemption shopping portal. After redeeming your points, you will receive a certificate with your authorization code. Then, you fill out a TSA PreCheck application online or in-person at an enrollment center. Finally, you must schedule an appointment at your local TSA precheck enrollment center and present the authorization code in lieu of the enrollment fee ($85). This award is only available to new applicants and your enrollment in TSA PreCheck will expire in 5 years.
Rather than using 25,000 Marriott points to enroll in TSA PreCheck, it might be a better value to use the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card to enroll. It reimburses cardholders for the cost of enrollment in either TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (up to $100). Simply charge the application fee to the card and you will receive a statement credit. This benefit is available to cardholders every 4.5 years.
