Get up to 18 free hotel nights in Bali with your Marriott Bonvoy points!

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 offer you in this destination.

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

By subscribing to the Marriott Bonvoy^® American Express^®* Card, you can earn 75,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

If you also subscribe to the Marriott Bonvoy^® Business American Express^®* Card, you could earn 85,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

That’s up to 160,000 Marriott Bonvoy points with both credit cards.

If you’re a couple – or with a travel companion – you can earn between 160,000 and 320,000 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 the other member’s Marriott Bonvoy Elite status
• Earn Elite nights for renewal of a status
• Book hotel nights with points by taking advantage of the Stay for 5, Pay for 4 policy

By using your Marriott Bonvoy points, you can take advantage of the Stay for 5, Pay for 4 Policy.

With this benefit, you save about 20% of the price of your reservation: you use fewer points to stay longer!

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

Bali has nearly 30 Marriott Bonvoy properties. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on properties that are available between 5,000 and 20,000 points per night.

Here’s how much a 10-night stay in one of these hotels would cost in points:

• Hotels from 5,000 points: between 40,000 and 80,000 points
• Hotels from 10,000 points: between 80,000 and 120,000 points
• Hotels from 15,000 points: between 120,000 and 160,000 points
• Hotels from 20,000 points: between 160,000 and 240,000 points

You can easily earn these points when applying for the Marriott Bonvoy^® American Express^®* Card or the Marriott Bonvoy^® Business American Express^®* Card.

So, with the welcome bonus from a single credit card, you could get about 18 free nights at a hotel costing 5,000 points per night:

18-night stay = from 75,000 points!

If you are a couple or a friend (OR if you sign up for both Marriott Bonvoy credit cards) that’s almost 36 free hotel nights!
