A LoyaltyLobby reader sent us a question by email about what hotel loyalty program pursue in Southeast Asia in 2021, in addition to Accor ALL and World of Hyatt.
Remember to send us your questions and comments by email, and Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. We’ll try to cover them here several times a week.
Marriott in 2020 run several “Members Day Exclusive Offers” for stays in Greater China (Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), and it seems that they continue this year as well.
Marriott Bonvoy this month offers members some bonus points for stays in these three markets through February 7, 2021, if booked by January 10.
Marriott Bonvoy has released its latest Escapes available for stays in the United States, Canada, Caribbean, and Latin America through February 7, 2021. You must book by Sunday.
Members can save 25%, and the non-member discount is capped at 20%. The offer is valid seven days a week at resorts and weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) at urban hotels.
Marriott Bonvoy in 2018 introduced Annual Choice Benefit-options for members that reach 50 and 75 nights in a calendar year. SPG offered these for years, while Marriott Rewards members didn’t have anything comparable.
You must choose your 2020 Annual Choice Benefit by midnight ET on January 8, 2021. If a member doesn’t select, Marriott will deposit the Suite Night Awards as a default option (not necessarily the best).
Marriott apparently has yet another one of their IT meltdowns and this time it affects the use of free night certificates through the website or app which is currently impossible to accomplish.
All Bonvoy members have to call Marriott in order to apply their certificate and the wait times are crazy at the moment on top of it all.
Marriott Bonvoy Members should check out their accounts as the 15 Elite Qualifying Nights from their American Express Cards (and possibly Chase cards too?) have just posted for 2021.
U.S. and Canadian credit card customers of the new Marriott Bonvoy products issued by American Express and Chase are entitled to a whopping 15 Elite Nights per year/card which is a huge advantage.
We have decided to revisit the topic of hotels scamming with room rate currency conversions which we previously looked at in Indonesia and Brazil.
If the booked currency differs from the settlement one, you should always check that the conversions are done using the correct rate and not an inflated one that can benefit the hotel anywhere from 5% to 10%.
Marriott inherited the Your World Rewards partnership with Emirates from SPG when the hotel companies merged (Marriott, in reality, bought Starwood).
Marriott Bonvoy has launched several targeted bonus points offers in the past two weeks (see below), and there is now even one for those who have linked their accounts with Emirates.
Marriott Bonvoy has released its latest Escapes available for stays in the United States, Canada, Caribbean, and Latin America through January 31, 2021. You must book by Sunday.
Members can save 25%, and the non-member discount is capped at 20%. The offer is valid seven days a week at resorts and weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) at urban hotels.
Marriott Bonvoy has been emailing some (not all) members with targeted promotions for stays through March 31, 2021 and there was a new batch of email sent out yesterday, also loaded into the profile.
These targeted offers were adopted into Marriott Bonvoy from SPG, and they took some time off earlier this year but returned in August (read more here and here) and Mid December (read more here).
With the Hotel Atlantic a fantastic addition to the Marriott hotel portfolio in Hamburg, Germany is going to join the list of Bonvoy redemption options next month as a Category 5 property of the Autograph Collection.
The Atlantic is an institution in Hamburg and one of Germany’s original Grand Hotels that is well known throughout the country and even beyond Germany.
