Thoughts

Well, this is a little surprising. Not only do I almost never get targeted for Bonvoy promotions, we also don’t often see Bonvoy promotions that are genuinely worth pursuing (for most).

The slight irony here is that as I have lifetime status with Marriott, I don’t really have a big need for bonus elite night credits (I can’t be bothered with Suite Night Awards or whatever else Marriott plans to offer in its Annual Choice benefits), but it’s nice to be targeted for something, nonetheless.

Overall, this is a great promotion to have open to you if you’re in the hunt for Bonvoy status as the elite nights can rack up pretty quickly and there’s no cap in place.

As I value Bonvoy points at 0.6 cents each, the effective rebate I’m being offered from the 1,000 points is $6 per night, and while that’s definitely not going to tempt me away from the Hyatt nights I have planned for the next few months, combined with the elite night credits, that’s not a bad deal for anyone with Bonvoy elite status in their sights.

For those of us with access to US credit cards, Bonvoy Platinum status can be had as a benefit of the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, and that makes the quest for elite nights a lot less pressured (unless you’re keen to hit the 50/75-night milestones to earn the Annual Choice benefits).

For everyone else, however, every opportunity to earn elite night credits is one to grasp and this offer represents a very good opportunity indeed.

Keep in mind that only nights consumed after registration will earn bonus points and bonus elite night credits, so while existing reservations will qualify for this promotion (it’s not limited to new bookings), make sure you check to see if you have this promotion in your account (and register) before your next Marriott stay.

Bottom line

Marriott has launched a new promotion that will allow some (possibly all) Bonvoy members to earn 1,000 bonus points and an elite night credit on every eligible stay made between 13 February and 29 April 2024. As promotions go, this is a good one. As Marriott promotions go, this is fantastic, so make sure you check the registration page to see if you have it in your account.
