Marriott Bonvoy has launched an Escape to luxury promotion giving members up to $300 in promotional folio credit up that can be used for hotel experience credits to make the stay feel more luxurious. The non-Marriott Bonvoy members can receive up to a $200 credit.
Marriott Bonvoy launched its “Week of Wonders” promotion where members can redeem points at off-peak rates. The stay has to be booked by October 14, 2021 for stays between October 14, 2021 to October 31, 2021 at all its 7,000+ hotels around the world.
Below is a refresher of Marriott’s Reward chart. I put in bold the off-peak rates for each category.
A few days after I wrote my comparison post regarding the U.S. and Canadian American Express Membership Rewards program, and I mentioned that we rarely see transfer bonuses in Canada as we do in the U.S., in pops a 30% hotel transfer bonus. This offer runs from September 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.
Marriott Bonvoy is currently running bonus points opportunities that run well into the fall, but only begins a week from today. Members will need to register for this offer.
Highlights
Below are the highlights of this promotion:
Bonus points are issued for stays between September 14, 2021 and December 12, 2021

For some parts of the world, travel seems to be opening up, especially in the United States. However, in other places like Canada, travel restrictions continue, and are as strict as they have been. So many people have been unable to generate activity on some of their hotel loyalty programs to keep their accounts active.
Current Members Double-Double Promotion
Marriott is offering a double-double promotion. Registration is required (must be done before April 13, 2021) to be eligible to earn 2x the elite night credits and 2x the points for stays of 2 consecutive nights or longer. The promotion is valid for stays between February 16, 2021 and April 27, 2021 at participating properties in Marriott Bonvoy.
Marriott Bonvoy made some new announcements regarding certain promotions, and we also mentioned a reminder of things that carried over from the year before.
Seems like the first part of 2021 is going to be a tough time to travel. Keep in mind that at Pointshogger, we do not endorse any sort of unnecessary travel. However, if you do have an essential trip, do watch out for these promotions to help boost your accounts.
Marriott Bonvoy is offering a 2 day sale of its e-gift cards. For today, November 30, 2020 and December 1, 2020, members can send a 15% off e-gift cards.
Note that the gift cards will be available for Canadian residents and are in USD.
Marriott Bonvoy is offering several deals all at once to close out the month of November. Below are the highlights of some of their current and upcoming offers.
Just a quick disclaimer. Even though we are no endorsing unnecessary travel, we understand that there are people who do absolutely have to travel for work. And for those who do want to take a vacation, have fun, but please be careful!

I’m not sure about everyone, but when I start travelling again, it will most likely be road trips within Canada ONLY for the foresable future. For this reason, I have been tracking hotel points expiry policies, elite status extensions and other relevant information more closely than airline industry.
I still hope to see hotels being used for multi-purposes, not just for tourism. For example, government buying up rooms to house certain people temporarily to alleviate the hospitals. Marriott has introduced a work anywhere program.
