Hey Award Trailblazers, listen up! Marriott Bonvoy is offering a sweet deal for foodies: you can earn a whopping 8x points per dollar at participating restaurants through their "Eat Around Town" program throughout October, if you're new to the program. Plus, you'll snag 200 bonus points for every completed reservation. That's on top of the regular points you'd earn! Why should you care? Well, Marriott Bonvoy points can be seriously valuable, especially when redeemed for hotel stays. Earning 8x points turns even a regular dinner into a points bonanza, getting you closer to that dream vacation faster. Think of it as free points for doing something you already love – eating! To maximize this deal, make sure you link your credit card to your Eat Around Town account. Consider using a card that already earns bonus points on dining, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Amex Gold card, to double dip on rewards! More points equal more travel, and that's what we're all about, right?
