Benefits of Becoming a Marriott Platinum Elite Rewards Member

Blog· Entertainment· Travel

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Millennial Central for Marriott Rewards. I received Marriott Points to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

I recently became a Marriott Platinum Elite Member and have been taking advantage of all the great perks that come along with the membership. I pinned down a few that I have really enjoyed and will tell you all about them in the video below.


Marriott Rewards® is my favorite rewards program. If you haven’t already, sign up to become a Marriott’s Reward Member. Why not earn points to redeem for hotel stays, flights, exclusive events ad shopping just by staying at a Marriott? It’s completely free to join and you can earn points at 3700 hotels in 70+ countries around the world.

Marriott Rewards®As I mentioned in an earlier post, Marriott is giving away a Year of Surprises throughout 2014. They are celebrating their 30th birthday and their way of celebrating is by throwing your loved ones a surprise party that they will never forget. Nominations are taking place right now through the end of May. Nominate your family, friends or whoever you think deserves a surprise. All nominations will be reviewed based on creativity/uniqueness of entry, overall appeal of nomination essay and feasibility of the surprise party. Three winner wills be notified in June and parties will be scheduled throughout each month throughout the end of the year.

If you miss this month’s nomination period, you will have one more chance during the third and final nomination period that takes place August 1 to August 31. Take a look at the Year of Surprises Official Rules to learn more. Don’t forget to enter your loved ones!

    I didn’t know that you could do so much with your rewards and I love that it is a free program. I will be sure to join before my next trip.

    I’ve been a part of a few rewards programs, but I wasn’t super impressed. My husband signed up for the reward program for Mariott so I’m excited to see the benefits of it.

    I’ve got to look into this for my family. We all travel a lot. I find that a lot of the Marriotts we have visited are so child friendly. Sounds like there are some great perks to being a platinum elite member.

    My hubby travels a lot- but his company has Hyatt Rewards. Either way- it is great to have those free stays in your back pocket!

    I like Marriott Hotels a great deal. There is a high quality level across all their properties. You can safely depend on quality, cleanliness and a great staff no matter which of their properties you visit across the country.
