Free nights, free flights, bonus points, special packages — the list of perks Marriott Bonvoy members enjoy might be longer than Shakespeare’s collected works. (To book or not to book? Just book.)

Go Full Gourmet with Eat Around Town

Sushi in San Diego? Steaks in New York? Whatever you’re craving, enroll in the Eat Around Town program, order mouthwatering meals at 16,000-odd restaurants America-wide, and earn up to 4 points per dollar spent — or as a Marriott Bonvoy Elite member, up to 6 points per dollar spent.

Save Big with Escapes

A little planning goes a long way. With Marriott Bonvoy Escapes, five-day sales kick off each Wednesday, enabling travelers to book stays for the next four weekends at participating properties. Marriott Bonvoy members save 20 percent.

Pile Up Points with Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards

Earning bonus points with every credit card purchase is tough to argue with, right? Free hotel nights, Elite qualifying nights and travel benefits are among the perks. Credit card partners include American Express and Chase.

Unlock an Annual Choice Benefit

When you earn 50 or 75 qualifying nights, you can unlock your annual choice benefit. Claim a Free Night Award. Score Elite Night Credits. Or get discounts when buying beds from your favorite hotel brands. The key is to enjoy yourself.

Take Off with the Global Airline Program

Hello, jet-setter lifestyle! With 40-plus airline partners, you can set your Marriott Bonvoy profile to earn miles instead of points, or convert existing points to miles, or vice versa.

Enjoy a (Really) Late Checkout

Why set an alarm? Gold Elite members can check out as late as 2 p.m. Platinum Elite? Make that as late as 4 p.m. And relax to the max.

Turbocharge Your Day with the Mobile App

Life moves fast. The Marriott Bonvoy app keeps you up to speed with Mobile Check-In, Mobile Key and in-room dining at your fingertips.

From your phone, access your Marriott Bonvoy account, request complimentary toiletries and use the road trip planner for stress-free itineraries.

From The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo to the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park, the Marriott Bonvoy app lets you catalog all your must-stays for future reference using the “Wish List” feature, so you’ll never lose track of all your dreamy favorites.

Make Sure You’ve Got Insurance

Lost bags, sudden illnesses, vacations cut short … these scenarios aren’t ideal, but it’s better when you’re prepared. Marriott Bonvoy members with Allianz Travel Insurance receive 24/7 access to the Travel Assistance team and coverage for everyone in their rooms.

Share the Pleasure of Points with Friends

Spread the joy around! When your friends become Marriott Bonvoy members via the Reward a Friend page and stay at participating hotels, you and they both earn 2,000 bonus points for each of their stays (up to five).
