Like all of its fellow hotel loyalty programs, Marriott Bonvoy puts on a rotating series of promotions every year to drive incremental stays among its members.
The latest targeted offer, called “Delight with More”, is one of the better promotions we’ve seen from Marriott in the recent past. If you’ve been targeted, you can earn a Free Night Award after two paid stays this summer.
Marriott Bonvoy’s “Delight with More” Targeted Promotion
To see if you’ve been targeted for this offer, simply check the “Promotions” tab or menu on the Marriott Bonvoy website or app. You may have also received an email from Marriott Bonvoy about the offer.
Keep in mind that there’s always a chance that you just weren’t targeted this time around. There are no firm criteria for who gets selected and who doesn’t, at least from what we can surmise.
If you’ve been targeted for the “Delight with More” promotion, you’ll earn a Free Night Award worth 35,000 points upon completing two separate paid stays of any length.
You’ll have to first register for the promotion, and then complete two paid stays by August 31, 2023. To be clear, award stays do not count towards this offer – you must pay for your stay with cash in order to qualify.
The Free Night Award will be valid for one year from the date on which it’s issued. You can only earn one Free Night Award per account, so there aren’t any opportunities to score multiple certificates with this promotion.
It’s worth noting that Marriott’s latest global promotion ended in April 2023. Aside from this targeted offer, there isn’t any other promotion available to all members of the loyalty program, and it will likely be a little while until we see another global promotion.
This is one of the better targeted promotions Marriott has offered in the last while, and it’s certainly taking advantage of if it’s available in your account.
If you happen to dabble in US credit cards, keep in mind that there is a concurrent Amex Offer for stays at North American Marriott hotels. If you can stack this offer with the “Delight with More” promotion, you can score up to 40% off your stay through to July 31, 2023.
Lastly, if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the current offers on the Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit cards, as they’re amongst the strongest we’ve seen in Canada.
Enhance Your Stay with Marriott STARS and Luminous
If you plan on paying cash for a hotel stay, it’s certainly worth booking through a preferred partner program, as you’ll get great benefits at participating hotels. If you don’t have Marriott Bonvoy elite status, or even if you do but you wish to further elevate your stay, booking with Prince of Travel through Marriott STARS or Luminous gives you additional benefits for no extra cost.
Luxury hotels, such as the St. Regis Toronto, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto, and The Ritz-Carlton Montreal can be booked via Marriott STARS.
Book a hotel stay with Prince of Travel through Marriott STARS and enjoy exclusive additional benefits at no cost to you, including:
- Daily breakfast for two guests
- Room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- $100 (USD) property credit
- In-person welcome and personalized welcome amenity and note
- Third, Fourth, or Fifth Night Free at select properties
Meanwhile, a wider range of properties, including The DOUGLAS Vancouver and the W Montreal, can be booked via Marriott Luminous.
Book a hotel stay with Prince of Travel through Marriott Luminous and enjoy exclusive additional benefits at no cost to you, including:
- Daily breakfast for two guests
- Room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- Early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
- Welcome amenity
- $100 (USD) property credit at select properties
- Third, Fourth, or Fifth Night Free at select properties
The Marriott STARS or Luminous rates are the same as the best available flexible rate, which can be higher than prepaid rates, member rates, corporate rates, etc., that you may have access to.
Conclusion
Marriott Bonvoy’s targeted “Delight with More” promotion for Summer 2023 has rolled out, and it’s one of the stronger offers we’ve seen in the recent past.
Check your account to see whether you’ve been selected for the offer. If you’re lucky enough to have it available, be sure to register and complete two stays before August 31, 2023 to score a Free Night Award worth 35,000 points.
Unfortunately, this offer can’t be scaled to more than one Free Night Award per account this time around. If you play the Miles & Points game in two-player mode, be sure to look at all accounts under your purview and plan your Summer 2023 Marriott stays accordingly.
