Marriott Bonvoy fans, listen up! Marriott's "Cruise with Points" program is giving you a chance to seriously boost your points balance. If you book a cruise of at least three nights in a balcony or suite stateroom before December 2, 2025, you'll snag double points. That's up to 6x points per dollar spent!
But wait, it gets even better! If you pay with a Marriott Bonvoy credit card, you could earn up to a whopping 8x points. This is a fantastic way to combine your love for cruising with your Marriott loyalty, turning your vacation into a points-earning bonanza.
Why does this matter to you? Well, more points mean more free nights at amazing Marriott hotels and resorts. If you were already considering a cruise, booking through Marriott's portal is a no-brainer. Just remember to check prices against booking directly with the cruise line to ensure you're getting the best deal! Happy sailing (and earning)!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
