Is the promotion available to all Marriott Bonvoy members?

Yes, but the offer is targeted and personalized. Each member receives a different offer, either a points bonus (30%, 35%, or 40%) or a price discount (up to 30%). Log in to the points purchase portal to discover your exclusive offer.

How do I know what bonus or discount percentage I received?

Log in to your Marriott Bonvoy account and access the points purchase page. The assigned percentage will be displayed directly on the screen. If you manage multiple accounts, check each one separately, as each account receives a different offer.

Which type of offer is more advantageous: bonus or discount?

At an equal percentage, the discount offer costs less per point. For example, a 30% discount results in a point costing 0.875 US cents, compared to 0.96 US cents for a 30% bonus. However, a 40% bonus is close to a 30% discount in terms of cost per point.

Can I buy more than 150,000 points during the promotion?

The annual purchase limit is set at 150,000 points (before bonus) via the purchase portal. However, you can buy up to 100,000 additional points when booking a stay directly on marriott.com. With a 40% bonus, you can therefore obtain up to 210,000 points through this promotion.

How long does it take for points to be deposited into my account?

Marriott indicates a maximum delay of 72 hours after the transaction. In practice, the deposit is often instantaneous or occurs within a few hours.

Do purchased points count towards Elite status?

No. Points purchased or received as a gift do not count toward achieving Marriott Bonvoy Elite status. Only qualifying nights and certain spending with a co-branded card allow you to progress through the status levels.

Which Canadian credit card should I use for this purchase?

Prioritize a card with no foreign currency conversion fees, such as the Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite +* Card. This will allow you to avoid the 2.5% fee charged by most Canadian cards on USD purchases. Note that this purchase does not code as a hotel transaction, so hotel point multipliers do not apply.

Do Marriott Bonvoy points expire?

Your Marriott Bonvoy points expire if no qualifying activity is recorded in your account for 24 consecutive months. Qualifying activity includes any earning or use of points (stay, purchase, transfer, etc.).

When will the next Marriott Bonvoy point purchase promotion take place?

Marriott Bonvoy usually launches two to three points purchase promotions per year. The current promotion offers up to a 40% bonus and ends on June 23, 2026. The frequency varies, but a similar promotion generally returns every quarter. Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified of the next one.
