How to get the best deal with Marriott
You can book a night with Marriott on the Marriott Website. The other option is to use a 3rd party site, like Booking.com. I recommend to book direct, as you get extra benefits. You’ll earn Marriott Bonvoy Points if you book direct. These points can be used for free hotel stays or converted to air miles. You don’t earn points if you book through a 3rd party.
Marriott also have a best rate guarantee. They promise to offer the lowest rate anywhere. If you find a lower price, then they’ll match that price and give you a further 25% off.
Marriott have some very beautiful and expensive hotels in Paris. The best way to book expensive Marriott Hotels is with Marriott Bonvoy Points. These points can be created for free or at low cost. You can buy points, spend on a credit card or attend a timeshare presentation.
I reviewed the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London. I saved 44% on the cash rate, by buying Marriott Bonvoy Points and using them to book the hotel. You can buy Bonvoy Points from Marriott on this page.
If you’re not a member of Marriott Bonvoy, you can sign up at this link. You’ll get 2,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy Points for each of your 1st five bookings. You don’t get this offer if you sign up on the Marriott Website.
There’s other ways to create Marriott Bonvoy Points for free. You can attend a Marriott Timeshare Presentation at one of their resorts in Spain. The cost is €229 for 3 nights. You’ll also get free car hire and 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points. This price is a 70% discount on the cash rate.
You have to sit through a 1 hour timeshare presentation from Marriott Timeshare. There’s no obligation to buy anything. These packages are popular. If you want to book one up, then email me. Give me your name, email address, telephone number (with county code) and the city you live in.
I’ve been on one of these packages myself. I stayed at the fabulous Playa Andaluza in Marbella. Review on this page.
The final strategy for earning Marriott Bonvoy Points is by spending with Credit Cards. Marriott have credit cards in many locations worldwide. Including the US, Canada, the UK and the UAE.
You can use this link to sign up for a card in the UK. If you use my link, then you get an increased signup bonus of 23,000 points. Once you click the link, then click ‘View all Cards with a referral offer.’ You’ll then see the Marriott Bonvoy Card and the special offer. Screenshots are below.
