The point being that free points are free points….
But will you actually change your booking behavior (the entire point of these promos) to book Marriott over another chain you might have otherwise booked with for this?
Still, you should definitely register because you may wind up staying during the promotional period and you might as well get the points!
In this article
The Marriott Bonvoy 2nd Half 2023 Promo
From September 12 to December 6, 2023, registered members can earn 1,500 bonus points on each stay and an additional 3,000 bonus points each time they stay at three different brands during the promotion earning period. Registration is open starting today through November 22, 2023.
Note that, as is standard with Marriott Bonvoy promotions, only paid stay counts, contrasting with World of Hyatt promotions where award stays also count.
I value Marriott Bonvoy points at about 0.6 cents each, meaning that each paid stay earns you about $9 worth of points and hitting the 3 brands nets you an additional $18 worth of points.
