Hey guys, ther are many ways to earn a ton of points with the new Marriott Bonvoy Program. Marriott has been aroind for a while, and to keep in step with the competition, they started a rewards program for its loyal customers.

Marriott points can be redeemed. for:

We will look at a plethora of ways you can earn Marriott points. Let’s get started.

One of the most popular ways to earn Marriott Reward points is to open up a Marriott Rewards credit card account. The following graph shows the current bonus points offer for opening up a Marriott credit card account.



Book Marriott Vacation Packages

Vacations by Marriott runs ongoing specials that offer bonus Marriott points for booking vacation packages in addition to the points earned on the purchase price.

As an example, one recent promotion offered 10,000 Marriott points for booking a 4-night stay or longer at a Westin property. You can check out the Vacations by Marriott site to see their current bonus point specials.

Earn Marriott Points for Car Rentals Through Hertz

Marriott partners with Hertz to offer Marriott Bonvoy members up to 35% off base car rental rates and unlimited miles.

Members enjoy the benefits of reserving now, paying later, and even canceling their reservation for free. Use code 154080 during booking for discount and benefits.

Best of all, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn up to 3,000 Marriott points for Hertz car rentals of 2 days or more.

Book Your Cruise Through CruisesOnly.com

With over 500 trained cruise experts on staff and a 110% money-back price guarantee, popular discount cruise agency CruisesOnly is a Marriott partner as well.

Receive special pricing, bonus amenities, and 2 additional Marriott points for every $1 you spend at CruisesOnly.com. Earn even more (up to 60,000 Marriott points!) when you book a balcony or suite stateroom.

Another way to earn Marriott Reward points is to go green! 

When you check in to a Marriott collection property, you’ll be offered the option to receive bonus points in exchange for forgoing daily housekeeping. You can earn 500 points per day at most properties and up to 5,000 points per stay. You can opt-out of housekeeping for up to 3 consecutive days in a row.

(Some hotels like Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, and SpringHill Suites only offer 250 bonus points/night.)

Gold Elite members or higher also have the option to select 500-1,000 Marriott points (depending on the property) in lieu of breakfast or a welcome amenity.


Purchasing Marriott Points

If you’re just short of enough points for a particular redemption option, you may want to purchase a small number of Marriott points to top off your account.

Another reason you might purchase points is to keep your points from expiring, since Marriott points expire after 24 months of inactivity on your account.

Members may purchase a maximum of 50,000 points per calendar year in increments of 1,000 at a rate of $12.50 per 1,000 points.

Best place to stay in Chicago during all-star weekend and other special events -2020. Earn points while you stay!


One of the best places to stay during All-Star Weekend or other specials events while in Chicago will be the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Bensenville, Illinois.
 This particular hotel is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago in decent traffic. The one thing I like about this particular hotel is that it was very clean. The room prices are not too bad and the staff was great. The parking lot is huge. Furthermore,  as I walked in the main entrance, I had a comfortable feel about the hotel.

And of course, you can I earn points. At this hotel. One way to earn points this to have a IHG membership. You can learn 500 points per reservation. So for example, if you're staying for three days, make three separate reservations, for a chance to earn 1500 points. You can are additional points by going green. Simply just contact the front desk and informed them that you prefer not to have room service. They will give you additional points for going green.

You can save money by using a AAA card, or if your a government employee use the Government rate. Here are a few examples of the possible rate change by using AAA or a government discount.

Without  AAA or Government rate

With Government discount 
So in review, this is a great hotel if you're trying to save money and not break the bank. It's family friendly and the location is not too bad.
