In 2026, the number of Marriott Bonvoy points you earn per dollar spent depends on the hotel brand and your "Elite" status level. The standard base earning rate for most brands (like Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, and Courtyard) is 10 points per $1 USD spent on qualifying charges. However, at certain "extended stay" or "budget" brands like Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, and Element, the base rate is lower at 5 points per $1. If you have earned status through frequent stays, you receive a "bonus" on top of these base points: Silver Elite gets a 10% bonus, Gold gets 25%, Platinum gets 50%, and Titanium/Ambassador members get a 75% bonus (meaning a Titanium member earns 17.5 points per $1 at a standard Marriott). If you pay with a Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card, you can earn an additional 6 points per $1, potentially bringing your total to over 23 points per dollar spent. Note that you only earn points on "qualifying rates" (booked directly through Marriott); bookings made through third-party sites like Expedia or Booking.com generally earn zero points and do not count toward elite status.
