Marriott Bonvoy loyalists, listen up! Marriott recently rolled out a series of quiet changes to its terms and conditions, and you'll want to be aware of them. The biggest tweak impacts the 48-hour guarantee, which promised compensation if your guaranteed room type wasn't available within 48 hours of arrival. This benefit now has more restrictions, so read the fine print before relying on it.

Another change is how quickly you'll see those precious points hit your account after a stay. The timeline for points posting has been accelerated for certain brands. While faster points are generally a good thing, it's always good to check your account to make sure everything is accurate.

These updates might seem minor, but they can impact your overall travel experience and how you maximize your Bonvoy benefits. Staying informed ensures you're getting the most out of your loyalty and avoiding any unexpected surprises during your next Marriott stay.
