Double points and double elite nights on qualifying stays. Yes, please.

Marriott has responded to Hyatt’s Double Elite night promo ( and reduced elite status qualifications ) with their own Double points/Double Elite night promo. While I am bullish on travel recovering somewhat this year, these promos are certainly signs that Hotel brands don’t see the storm passing in the short term. While I’m happy for any chance to earn double points and nights, this Marriott promo requires stays of 2 or more nights whereas Hyatt’s does not.

Then again, Marriott’s footprint is multiple times larger than Hyatt, and they deposited 50% of the elite nights you earned in 2020 into your 2021 status year. If you can use this to get to Marriott Bonvoy Platinum…do it.  Maybe you have work trips lined up, etc. Starting at 0 nights, it would require a 25 nights ( in 2 night stays ), or if you have a Marriott branded card, considerably fewer.

There are 4 Marriott credit cards that come with 15 elite nights as a perk. If you carried a personal and business version you’d have 30 nights, meaning you’d only need 10 nights during this promo to hit Platinum status. If that’s you…it could definitely be worth a mattress run. Anything less than Platinum and I wouldn’t push for it unless you already have a stay lined up.
