Bonus Points
Occasionally, member specials let you earn bonus points in addition to rate savings. Keep an eye out for these opportunities –you could find yourself on a complimentary vacation sooner than you thought possible.
Cash + Points
Marriott Bonvoy members may combine cash nights and points nights when making a redemption reservation. PointSavers® and exclusive member offers will be displayed when available. Special rates and awards, such as corporate and government rates, AAA and senior discounts, will not appear.
E-certificate
When you reserve hotel rewards at a participating location, an “e-certificate” will automatically be generated and made available to the hotel when you check-in. You also have the option to redeem for a paper certificate for a small fee. The advantage to an e-Certificate is that once you make the reservation, your work is done (provided you have enough points to redeem).
Elite Membership
When you stay with us for a certain number of nights in a given year, you automatically qualify to upgrade to one of our three Elite member levels: Silver, Gold or Platinum. With Elite membership, you’re recognized as one of our best customers and entitled to additional exclusive benefits.
Hotel Reward
Use the Marriott Bonvoy points you’ve earned for a hotel stay in a standard hotel room (extra points required for room upgrades such as rooms with desirable views, larger rooms and suites, enhanced amenities, etc.)

Night Earnings vs. Point Earnings

Points
Stay more. Earn more. As a Marriott Bonvoy member, you’ll earn points with each stay to use toward complimentary nights or flights, in addition to other rewards.
Points vs. Miles
We offer all members the option to earn either points toward complimentary nights and other rewards, or miles for complimentary flights with their favorite frequent flyer program. You can view and change your earning preference easily through “My Account”, your personalized online Rewards page.
PointSavers® Hotel Reward
One of our most popular rewards, PointSavers Open in a different browser tab offers up to 20% in point savings, depending on the hotel category and number of nights requested.
Reward Category/Tier
Hotel categories determine the number of Marriott Bonvoy points necessary to redeem for a free night. For instance a category 1 hotel requires 7,500 points while a category 4 hotel requires 20,000 points. Marriott Rewards has 8 hotel categories and Ritz-Carlton Rewards has 5 hotel tiers which are determined by prior year redemption volume at each hotel and are not determined by brand, rate, amenities, location, or services offered. A hotel’s category can change based on the number of redemption nights at that property in the prior year. Marriott Rewards makes an effort to minimize these changes to maintain stability across the portfolio of properties.
Reward Code
Each reward available through your membership is assigned a unique Reward Code that makes it easy to search for and recall specific reward details..
