What 20,000 points are worth

These points come on top of what you normally earn on the hotel portion of the package. Flights, car rentals and activities do not earn Marriott Bonvoy points.

- 4 consecutive nights at the same hotel. Two 2-night stays at two different hotels do not qualify.
- Participating hotels only. A limited number of rooms is available, and blackout dates may apply.
- No groups. The offer does not apply to bookings of 10 rooms or more.
- Limited stacking. The promotion cannot be combined with certain other offers or prior reservations.
- Hawaii and the U.S. are not eligible for the October offer.
Who should book
If you were already planning a week at a Marriott all-inclusive this winter, the bonus adds about $180 in value to a trip you were taking anyway. To pick a resort, see our list of the best all-inclusive Marriott Bonvoy hotels.
Check these before you book:
- The site is in English and prices are in U.S. dollars. Pay with a card that has no foreign transaction fees to avoid the usual 2.5%.
- Compare the total price. Check what the same hotel and flight cost when booked separately. The 20,000 points only make sense if the package price stays competitive.
