However, you will receive credit for each night that can put you on a faster track to higher status.<\/p><p>For your stay at each of these brands, you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points. In addition, you can use the points you earn to get free nights at Marriott hotels. Don&#8217;t be put off if you haven&#8217;t stayed in a Marriott property before.

Members can achieve this status after staying 50 nights in a calendar year. Benefits include 50% bonus points on stays, enhanced room upgrades including select suites, 4pm late checkout, and a welcome gift upon checkin. Additional perks include access to a lounge, free breakfast where offered, and an annual gift choice.<\/p><p>The annual gift allows members to choice from one of the following: five Suite Night Awards, give the gift of Silver Elite status, 40% off your favorite mattress, five Elite Night Credits or a $100 charity donation.<\/p><p>We find the Platinum Elite level to be worth shooting for with our favorite gift selection being the five Suite Night Awards.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/loyalty\/member-benefits\/titanium.mi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Marriott Bonvoy <strong>Titanium<\/strong> Elite <\/a><\/h3><p>The fourth tier of Marriott Bonvoy status offers a number of great benefits for frequent travelers. Members achieve this status after staying 75 nights in a calendar year. The benefits include 75% bonus points on stays, enhanced room upgrades prioritized over platinum, 4pm late checkout, and welcome gift upon checkin.<\/p><p>The main difference between Titanium and Platinum is the priority in which you get upgraded and the chance to choose 2 of the annual gifts. This means you can select up to 10 suite night awards or mix and match different selections.<\/p><p>The Titatnium level is also the last Marriott Bonvoy elite level that does not require a spend threshold making it much easier to achieve by using branded credit cards to increase your nightly credits.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/loyalty\/member-benefits\/ambassador.mi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Marriott Bonvoy <strong>Ambassador<\/strong> Elite<\/a><\/h3><p>Marriott Ambassador Elite is their publisher top tier level that comes with many of the benefits of Titanium with a few added perks. Members achieve this stats after staying 100 eligible nights and meeting a spend requirement of $20,000. The benefits for this status include all of the Titanium benefits plus notably Ambassador Service and Your24.<\/p><p>Ambassador Service is effectively a personal Marriott assistant that can help you with booking stays or anything related to your Marriott property. Often times you will receive a dedicated person that will help you with all your travel needs. We&#8217;ve heard from Ambassadors that they have kept the same assistant for a number of years, developing a relationship that can help them out with any of their travel needs.<\/p><p>Your24 by Marriott gives you the flexibility to choose the 24 hours of your stay. For example you can check in to a property at 9 p.m and have your check out at 9 p.m. &mdash; it&rsquo;s up to you. This is a nice perk for those that arrive late into cities and gives you an extended period of time in your room.<\/p><p>Marriott Ambassador Service is the only status tier that includes a spend requirement, making it the hardest to achieve. Travelers have shared mixed reviews on if they think its worth extending for but for those that are extremely frequent travelers the benefits do make a difference.<\/p><p>It takes a lot of effort to any Marriott Bonvoy elite level that offers noticeable benefits. To achieve status, you&#8217;ll need a lot of stays and brand loyalty. If you are a less frequent traveler you may benefit from looking at other hotel groups since Marriott Bonvoy is known for their heavy usage amongst business travelers.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUOiCdmKodg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

They are giving all members 50 percent of the Elite Night Credits they earned in 2020 for 2021. As a result, in 2021, the expenditure required for the Ambassador Elite level will be cut by 30%, from $20,000 to $14,000 making it easier to achieve. <\/p><p>An easy way to gain nights is by owning and using a Marriott Bonvoy credit card. Every year, Marriott Bonvoy credit cards are given 15 free qualifying nights. While possessing multiple personal Marriott Bonvoy credit cards does not get you double Elite Night Credits, holding one personal and one business Marriott Bonvoy card does. So each year, you&#8217;ll receive a bonus of 30 Elite Night Credits, automatically putting you in Gold Status.<\/p><p>Other credit cards also offer elite status automatically such as the American Express Platinum gifting gold status to all members. Keep an eye out for these perks as you can sometimes get great benefits at hotels just by having the right credit card.<\/p><p>If you acquire status by staying at Marriott properties, your status will last until the end of the calendar year.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marriott Award Rates<\/strong><\/h2><p>Marriott Bonvoy points aren&#8217;t precious but if you plan your trip correctly you can get some great value out of them. On average Marriott Bonvoy Points are usually worth <strong>0.77 cents per point<\/strong>. While this is a low value compared to certain rewards programs, it is pretty common pricing for hotel incentives, with Hilton Honors and IHG Rewards points valued equally.<\/p><p>The low value is due to the fact that hotel awards are considerably easier to come by. With so many hotel credit cards and options to earn hotel points, the value of each point is dwindling.<\/p><p>However, you may boost the value of Marriott Bonvoy points by searching for better than normal redemptions.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-10851 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-10851 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/travelseason.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marriott-Points-Redemption-Example-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Bodrum Edition | July 2022<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Take the example above where you are receiving more than double the average value of Marriott Points at <strong>1.7 cents per point<\/strong>.

Here is every way you can earn Marriott points.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staying at Marriotts<\/strong><\/h3><p>Marriott members will get a base of 10 award points per dollar spent on eligible charges for stays at most Marriott hotel brands. However, to that general rule, there are a few exceptions. For example, element, Residence Inn, as well as, TownePlace Suites receive five Marriott points for every dollar spent. In addition, while Marriott Executive Apartments and ExecuStay earn 2.5 Marriott points per dollar spent on qualifying hotel rates, Marriott Executive Apartments and ExecuStay do not.<\/p><p>Furthermore, your elite status and current hotel promos would further enhance your earnings: 2,250 points ($225 qualifying spend multiplied by 10 points per dollar spent) from base earnings. As an elite bonus, you&#8217;ll get 1,125 points (50 percent bonus as a Platinum Elite). As a welcome gift, you will have 500 points. For completing five stays with the Unlock More program, you&#8217;ll receive 12,000 bonus points. For ignoring housekeeping for two days, you get 500 points.<\/p><p>To earn points for a stay, however, you must book directly with Marriott. Rooms booked through online travel agencies (such as Expedia, Hotwire, and Priceline), as part of an event, through a tour operator, or as a comped stay do not earn points.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spending On <strong>Marriott Credit Cards<\/strong><\/h3><p>Marriott has four credit cards available from Chase and American Express that allow cardholders to earn extra Marriott points. All of your credit card purchases will earn you Marriott points, and you&#8217;ll also be eligible for a hefty welcome bonus.<\/p><p>Make sure you keep an eye on the rules and eligibility of each credit card as they can have a big impact on how many rewards you can earn.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Note: Credit card terms and details are subject to frequent change and are written when this article is published.

A member can transfer up to 100,000 points to another account, and each member can receive up to a total of 500,000 points per year. An added perk is these transfers are completely free, making them an easy way to top up your account for a redemption.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Use Marriott Bonvoy Awards<\/strong><\/h2><p>Marriott Bonvoy points can be redeemed in a variety of ways. Marriott points are worth 0.8 cents each, according to TPG, which is roughly the value you&#8217;ll get from hotel stays or airline transfers. The majority of other redemption choices, on the other hand, do not provide a good return on your Marriott Bonvoy points.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Redeem For Free nights<\/strong><\/h3><p>Marriott points are straightforward to use because the company has a standardized award system that shows you how many points you&#8217;ll need for a free stay. Dynamic pricing is used by loyalty programs like Hilton Honors, which isn&#8217;t ideal for members because award fees fluctuate dramatically depending on demand. When it comes to Marriott, the price of a room is fairly apparent.<\/p><p>Depending on the hotel category and if the date is off-peak, standard, or peak, a free night with Marriott will cost anywhere from 5,000 to 100,000 points.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Note: Marriott has announced that as of March 2022 hotels will be switching to dynamic pricing rather than an award chart.

The price of the packages varies depending on the hotel type and the number of miles you choose to acquire. The Category 8 and 100,000-mile option, which costs 750,000 points, is the most expensive.<\/p><p>These packages change on a regular basis, and while some are auctioned, others have set prices.

You will also still receive points and elite night credit when booking with a travel agent making them good benefits even if you have status.<\/p><p>If you are a business traveler you may be getting benefits through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/travelseason.com\/hotels\/marriott-corporate-codes-discounts\/\">Marriott corporate rates<\/a>&nbsp;but if you are looking to travel for leisure then going through a travel agent will give you the most benefits.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What type of travelers are best suited for Marriott?<\/strong><\/h2><p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Marriott Rewards is committed to finding a brand that can fit almost every type of traveler.
