Marriott Bonvoy 2022 Promotion: Double Elite Nights (Registration Required)

Here are the rules to know about this Marriott Bonvoy promotion:

• Register now for the Marriott Bonvoy promotion: Every Night Counts
• Book your stays via Marriott Bonvoy (through the Milesopedia link to support us)
• Stay from February 8, 2022 to May 4, 2022. Registration closes on April 20, 2022.
• Earn Double Elite Nights and 1,000 bonus points per night
• Only paid stays are valid for this Marriott Bonvoy promotion
• This applies to all Marriott Bonvoy hotels (browse our worldwide and Canada maps).

Pay for your stay with one of these Marriott Bonvoy credit cards to earn 5 points per dollar:

This Marriott Bonvoy promotion has two components:

• Double Elite Nights
• 1,000 bonus points per night

Suppose your goal is to earn or renew Marriott Bonvoy Elite status in 2022. In that case, you’ll want to register for this Marriott Bonvoy promotion and stay at Marriott hotels between February 8 and May 4, 2022.

During this promotion, you don’t want to pay for your stays with points (reward stays do not count). You will have to pay for each of your stays.

I invite you to re-read Caroline’s article: How to save by paying cash at Marriott Bonvoy hotels: special rates and other tips.

Last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marriott Bonvoy gifted Elite nights to members who had Elite status the previous year. With the launch of this Marriott Bonvoy promotion, it leads us to believe that a similar offer will not be repeated this year.

If you have a Marriott Bonvoy credit card in Canada, you automatically earn 15 Elite Nights each year:

• Marriott Bonvoy^® American Express^®* Card
• Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express^® Card

This means that, under normal circumstances, you are between 10 and 60 Elite nights short of achieving one of these Marriott Bonvoy Elite statuses:

With this Marriott Bonvoy promotion, it halves the nights you need to stay to earn or renew Elite status in 2022 (provided your stays are between February 8 and May 4, 2022) :

If, like me, you are a Marriott Bonvoy credit cardholder in the United States (consumer + business), you already have 30 Elite nights in your account instead of 15 Elite nights for Canadians. This significantly reduces the number of Elite nights required this year.

For 2022, my advice is to aim to achieve or renew Platinum Elite status. This is the Elite Status level you want to get:

• Complimentary breakfast
• Upgrades
• Superior recognition at Marriott Bonvoy hotels

With this Elite Status, you’ll save a lot of money during your vacations.

Since only the nights count (not the stays), there is no need to change hotels to maximize this promotion.

To ensure that you get or renew your Platinum Elite status, you could, for example, stay:

• 9 nights in the same hotel during the February vacations
• 9 nights during the April vacations

The benefit of staying in the same hotel for an extended stay is to use the Long Time Stay Rate (LTS), which is often very advantageous, or the Prepaid Rate. And to get or renew your Elite status at a cheaper rate.

Consider combining this promotion with one (or more!) stays in Quebec City.

Indeed, until March 4, 2022, thanks to a Québec Cité Promotion, you will get a second night free in a Québec City Marriott Bonvoy hotel.

The cost of your second night’s stay is deducted from your final bill (be sure to choose the rate that allows you to get the second night free).

The important point is that this second night counts toward your Elite nights under this Marriott Bonvoy promotion. Therefore, a 2-night stay in one of these hotels counts as four nights-Elite from February 8 to May 4, 2022.

And if you happen to have a promotional offer on one of your American Express cards, you save even more.

Indeed, with this offer from American Express ending March 31, 2022, one or more hotel expenses of $800 or more gives you a $100 credit. Check your account carefully to make sure you meet all the requirements.

The other component of the Marriott Bonvoy promotion is to offer 1,000 points per night. By our estimate, this is a $9 value.

After an 18-night stay to get or renew your Platinum Elite status, you will have earned 18,000 points, in addition to the points earned for booking your stay:

• 10 points per dollar at most brands
• 5 points per dollar at Element, Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites hotels

And those with Elite status, earn even more points:

• 10% bonus points for Silver Elite members
• 25% bonus points for Gold Elite members
• 50% bonus points for Platinum Elite members
• 75% bonus points for Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite members

Finally, Marriott Bonvoy credit cardmembers also earn 5 points per dollar for all purchases made at Marriott Bonvoy properties.
