Marriott Bonvoy is running a new promotion where you can snag 2,005 bonus points per stay, for up to three stays. Just make sure to register by December 27, 2025, and complete your stays between October 28, 2025, and January 10, 2026. They're also throwing in an extra 2,000 points for each stay at a Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors property.

Okay, 2,005 points might not sound like a huge windfall, but hey, it's free points! And free points get you closer to that aspirational hotel stay. Plus, the real win is that you can stack this promo with other Marriott deals, like those Amex Offers floating around that give you statement credits for spending at Marriott properties.

So, while this isn't the most earth-shattering promotion, it's definitely worth registering for if you have any Marriott stays planned during the promo period. It's basically free money (in the form of points!), and who doesn't love that? Keep an eye out for those Amex Offers to really maximize your savings!

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.
