#RewardsPoints could get you a free night at any Marriott in the World
Marriott is launching their new #RewardsPoints campaign to drum up interest in the brand through Social Media. As part of this launch, you’ll receive 250 points when you link your accounts, 125 when you follow Marriott, and then a few times a month Marriott will have promotions. THIS is where you can rack up your balance. While there isn’t any definitive information on how many points you’ll be able to earn for each promotion, we do know that you’ll have the ability to earn 45k per year. I like the sound of this.
45k will get you a free night at any Marriott in the world. And quite a few Ritz Carltons
Marriott is looking for engagement. Connect and Collect is their program designed to achieve this.
Step 1 – Link your accounts here:
Step two…get some more points by following Marriott Rewards
Step 3…get your hashtag game strong, and peep some properties you’d like to burn those points on. May I suggest a few?
The Super Sexy London Edition is 45k points per night
You could get 3 nights at the JW Marriott Beijing – An outstanding deal at just 15k/night
If you could find just 15k more points you’d actually score 5 nights here like we did on my Mom’s Around the World Surprise Trip. Marriott gives you a 5th night free when you redeem 4 nights.
You won’t regret dropping 45k points for the Boscolo Exedra Rome. Truly a beautiful hotel.
The Autograph Collection hotels have a ton of character and incredible locations.
What are you waiting for? Go link those accounts and start earning. 🙂

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
