Marriott Bonvoy members can earn points for food and beverage spend at Marriott affiliated hotels even when not staying (you get more if you are and charge to your room). You earn at the rate of 10 points per USD (excluding taxes and service charges + alcohol where prohibited).
Participating properties and restaurants in Asia-Pacific have sweetened this offer by offering up to 20% discount (30% in Greater China until the end of 2019).
Marriott Bonvoy has had rotating offers throughout the 2019, something that SPG had but former Marriott Rewards never, and has today launched new ones that are valid for stays through March 31, 2020.
These “Exclusive For You” offers are in addition to the Unlock More-global promotion (read more here and here), and you can earn the bonuses from both simultaneously. Please report your targeted offer in the comment section below or drop us an email.
Marriott Bonvoy launched Escapes earlier this year that replaced Last Minute Escapes that were available for a few months. Marriott previously had eBreaks while SPG had its Hot Escapes.
Members save 25% while the non-member discount is capped at 15%. These Escapes are valid seven days a week at resorts and Friday to Sunday at city hotels. You must book them by Sunday. Escapes are available for bookings every other week.
Marriott Bonvoy has made a significant change to what counts as elite qualifying nights and what stays are valid for points effective November 25, 2019.
These changes mainly affect Marriott employees, and Friends & Family that can now earn points and elite status from their discounted stays.
Marriott Bonvoy has a new Flash Sale combining Black Friday and Cyber Monday for stays in Europe this winter through April 19, 2020.

Marriott Bonvoy has launched a holiday sale under “Give The Gift Of Travel” that is valid for travel through February 29, 2020, and must be booked by December 31.
The offer that covers both the Black Friday and Cyber Monday is valid for stays in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards decided to continue their partnership earlier this year that was initially launched with SPG (read more here and here).
Your World Rewards allows elite members from both Marriott and Emirates to get certain on-property and airport benefits, and there are occasional bonus points and miles opportunities.
Marriott Rewards, unlike its Starwood Preferred Guest counterpart, wasn’t known for sending gifts to its top tier members.
Marriott Bonvoy has had a change of heart by continuing the SPG tradition and is in the process of sending cheese boards to some. The criteria used to select members who receive one is unclear.
