At most Marriott Bonvoy properties in 2026, you earn 10 base points for every $1 USD spent on qualifying room rates and charges. However, this varies by brand; at Element, Residence Inn, and TownePlace Suites, the rate is lower at 5 points per $1. For those with Elite status, bonuses apply: Silver gets 10%, Gold 25%, Platinum 50%, and Titanium/Ambassador members earn a 75% bonus. In early 2026, Marriott is also running a "Q1 Global Promotion" from February 25 to May 10, offering 2,500 bonus points per stay plus a bonus Elite Night Credit for every different brand you visit. To maximize earnings, use a Marriott Bonvoy credit card, which can add up to 6 points per dollar on top of your base and elite earnings, bringing your total potential yield significantly higher.
