The full terms and conditions for this offer are as follows:

A “stay” is defined as consecutive nights spent in the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Once activated, you will earn (i) 2,000 Avion pts when you spend $500 to $699.99 (ii) 3,000 Avion pts when you spend $700 – $1199.99 (iii) 5,000 Avion pts when you spend $1200 – $1399.99 or (iv) 6,000 Avion pts when you spend $1,400 or more (“Minimum Spend”) calculated on the final price of your purchase(s) including taxes and fees on one guest room/suite (based on single or double occupancy) (“Qualifying Purchase”), at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy in Canada (“Participating Hotel”) on stays between March 4, 2024 and May 31, 2024, inclusively (“Offer Period”) and, pay using one of your eligible RBC Royal Bank Avion credit card(s) shown on this page (“Eligible RBC Credit Card). Offer limited to bookings of 10 rooms or less and must be booked on https://www.marriott.com; offer excludes hotel stays booked through third party online retailers or other wholesalers. Participating hotels include all hotels that participate in Marriott Bonvoy in Canada. Limit of 1 points offer per client. Marriott Bonvoy member Rates are valid for Marriott Bonvoy members only; to join visit: https://www.marriott.com. Offer applies to the room amount only. Additional charges not reflected on your reservation at the time of booking are excluded from Qualifying Purchases and Minimum Spend. Offer subject to room availability, exclusions apply. Offer cannot be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer or applied retroactively to previous purchases. Cancellations or price adjustments that reduce the price of your Qualifying Purchase below $500 will cancel your Avion points. Individual hotel cancellation policies in place at the time of reservation will apply. Reservation changes are subject to availability and any rate differences. Visit https://www.marriott.com for full booking terms. Avion points may appear on the account statement tied to your Eligible RBC Card up to 30 days from the time of Qualifying Purchase, provided your credit card or banking account was in good standing at that time. Avion points will not be applied as a payment towards the balance of your credit card account. Marriott International, Inc., not Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), is responsible for the Discount, terms, and conditions applicable to your booking and stay, as well as your Qualifying Purchase. RBC reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time, even after you have activated it. Please visit rbc.com/offers.

Currently, Marriott Bonvoy is also offering members an additional 1,000 bonus points per stay and double elite night credits until April 29, 2024, through its global promotion. This RBC Offer will stack on top of that, since the credit card used during the stay doesn’t affect eligibility for Marriott promotions.

Marriott RBC Offer for Avion Select Members

If you’re not an RBC Avion cardholder, there’s a separate promotion available to anyone who opens an Avion Rewards account at the “Select” membership tier.

There should be a “Spend $500, earn 2,000 Avion points” offer available on your dashboard, which must be loaded by April 30, 2024. Then, you can earn bonus Avion points on stays through to May 31, 2024.

Note that you’ll need to first link a credit card to your account, and you can choose to link any credit card of your choosing.

The best option for spending at Marriott hotels in Canada is either the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card or the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card, since they both earn 5 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels.

Since you can earn twice through this offer, you’d wind up with the following amounts of points, assuming you’ve made two transactions of exactly $500 each:

• 4,000 Avion points
• 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points

Plus, these points come in addition to any you’d earn through Marriott’s global promotion or bonus points with your Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status.

Enhance Your Stay with Marriott STARS and Luminous

If you’re planning a stay at a Canadian Marriott hotel and you wish to further elevate your stay, booking your stay with Prince of Travel through Marriott STARS or Marriott Luminous entitles you to additional benefits at no additional cost.

Participating hotels, including the St. Regis Toronto, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto, and The Ritz-Carlton Montreal, can be booked via Marriott STARS. Meanwhile, a wider range of properties, including JW Marriott and W Hotels, such as the W Montreal, W Toronto, and the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, can be booked via Marriott Luminous.

The Marriott STARS or Luminous rates are the same as the best available flexible rate, which can be higher than prepaid rates, member rates, or corporate rates that you may also have access to.

The bookings are made directly on Marriott’s website by your travel advisor, so as long as you use your RBC Avion credit card with the offer loaded, you’ll be able to benefit from the RBC Offer bonus.

Conclusion

RBC has released a promotion for select cardholders, whereby members can earn up to 6,000 RBC Avion points at Canadian Marriott hotels between March 4 and May 31, 2024. 

Check your email or login to your Avion Rewards account to see if you have the offer available, and keep in mind that registration is required before your first eligible stay. You have until April 30, 2024 to register, so be sure to do so before then if you have an upcoming Marriott stay.

RBC Offers have certainly become much more interesting lately, with bonus points on Marriott stays, discounted ski passes, and free après ski experiences as some examples. Let’s hope that the offers become even better going forward.
