Marriott Bonvoy makes some minor changes to its T&C's - September 2023
The start of September 2023 saw some minor, clarifying changes made to Marriott Bonvoy T&C's.
(1) Under T&C's 2.1.b Bonvoy members can earn points on their own room plus 2 additional rooms during a stay. Previously
this required the member to "stay in one of the 3 rooms". This has now been clarified to say that all 3 rooms must have the same
check-in and check-out dates.
Presumably this is to prevent the member collecting points for say 11 nights by staying only 1 night, while guests in the other rooms
stayed 5 nights each.
The member must pay for all 3 rooms by paying a "qualifying" (non-discounted) rate or apply an Award Redemption for all
of the rooms.
The benefit is aimed at families or groups staying together for a single vacation.
(2) T&C's for Marriott Homes & Villas were also clarified in a similar manner to align with hotel stays. A
member can earn (5) points per USD spent for up to 3 homes, provided the homes are in the same city and
the bookings are for identical check-in and check-out dates. Also, as with hotels, Elite Night Credits
are only received for 1 of the homes
(ie the one in which the member stayed).
