Marriott Bonvoy points can save a lot of money for your travel. Depending on the destination, you can get one or more free hotel nights with points.

Here are several tips to know before finding out what these points can get you in this country.

Marriott Bonvoy partners with American Express in Canada by issuing two Marriott Bonvoy credit cards (one for consumers and one for SMEs).

By signing up for the Marriott Bonvoy^® American Express^®* Card, you can earn 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

If you also sign up for the American Express^MD Marriott BonvoyTM Business Card, you could earn 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

That’s 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points with both credit cards.

If you are a couple – or with a travel companion – you can earn between 100,000 and 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy points!

You can also transfer points to Marriott Bonvoy from one of these seven American Express Membership Rewards Cards:

The transfer rate is 1:1.2 (or 5:6). This means that if you transfer 10,000 Membership Rewards points, you will receive 12,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

Each year, you can transfer up to 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for free from one Marriott Bonvoy account to another. It is a convenient method to book hotel nights from a single account to:

• Combine points earned on a spouse or a travel buddy’s Marriott Bonvoy credit cards.
• Benefit from a Marriott Bonvoy Elite status
• Earn Elite nights for renewal of a status
• Book hotel nights with points by taking advantage of the “Stay 5 nights, Pay for 4” tip.

When redeeming your Marriott Bonvoy points, you can benefit from the “Stay for 4, pay for 4” perk.

With this advantage, you save about 20% of your booking price, so you use fewer points for a longer stay!

Now that you know the main tips about earning and redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points, let’s look at the good deals at this destination.
