Heads up, Marriott Bonvoy members! There's a new promo that could seriously boost your points balance. If you book a "Vacations by Marriott" package of four or more nights before January 31, 2026, for travel between January 1 and May 31, 2026, you'll snag a cool 20,000 bonus Bonvoy points.
Why should you care? Well, 20,000 points is a decent chunk! Depending on how you redeem them, that could translate to a free night or two at a lower-category Marriott hotel, or a nice discount on a pricier stay. It’s basically free money (or points!) for doing something you might already be planning to do: booking a vacation.
Keep in mind this applies specifically to "Vacations by Marriott" packages, which bundle your hotel stay with extras like flights or activities. So, if you're thinking about a getaway in early 2026 and were planning on booking everything separately, it's worth checking out these packages to see if you can snag those bonus points. Just make sure the package is actually a good deal compared to booking everything a la carte. Happy travels, and happy point 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.
