We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

  • Jason Stauffer

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    There are 2 new promotions from Marriott and Starwood, for stays between January 16 and April 15, 2018.  You’ll need to register by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on March 31, 2018.

    With Marriott’s New Promotion You Can Earn up to 50,000 Marriott Points, but It Will Take a LOT of Stays

    1.   Marriott MegaBonus

    Link:  Marriott MegaBonus

    Starting with your second paid Marriott stay, you’ll earn up to 3,000 Marriott points per stay.  Here are the details:

    With Marriott’s Latest MegaBonus Promotion, You Can Earn Up to 3,000 Bonus Points for Each Stay at a Marriott Hotel, Like the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa

    And make sure your reward earning preference is Marriott points, or you won’t earn the bonus points!

    2.   Starwood Great Weeks, Grand Weekends

    Link:   Starwood Great Weeks, Grand Weekends

    Starwood is offering double Starwood points starting with your second stay, and 500 bonus Starwood points if your stay includes a weekend night.  Here is what you need to know:

    You Can Earn Double Starwood Points at Participating Hotels, Like The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona
    Note:   A hotel stay is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel (even if you check-out and back in).

    Are These Promotions Good Deals?

    These deals aren’t worth changing your travel plans for.  But if you have upcoming stays with Marriott or Starwood, this is a nice surprise!

    Regardless, I suggest registering anyway, because you never know when your plans will change.

    Extra Marriott and Starwood points are a good thing.  They have both become more valuable since the Marriott Starwood merger was announced.  But make sure to take a look at other current hotel promotions to make sure there isn’t a deal that better fits your goals.

    Bottom Line

    There are 2 new promotions from Marriott and Starwood, for stays between January 16 and April 15, 2018.  But you’ll need to register by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on March 31, 2018.

    With the latest Marriott MegaBonus promotion, you can earn up to 3,000 Marriott points per stay, beginning with your second stay.

    And the Starwood Great Weeks, Grand Weekends promotion will earn you double Starwood points per stay, starting with your second stay.  You can also earn 500 bonus Starwood points per stay that includes a weekend night.  But not all Starwood hotels are participating in the deal.

    Do you plan on taking advantage of these promotions?
