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.

Here’s more about this deal, and how to register for the promotion!

Earn Bonus Marriott Points

Link:   Marriott MegaBonus Promotion

Register between September 1, 2016, and December 15, 2016, for Marriott’s new MegaBonus Promotion, and earn up to 50,000 bonus Marriott points on stays between September 15, 2016, and January 15, 2017.

When you register, you can choose between 2 different bonuses:

So, if you don’t think you’ll have at least 10 paid nights at Marriott through the end of the promotion (January 15, 2017), you should sign-up to earn the 5,000 Marriott points bonus.

If you travel a lot and have 10+ paid nights planned over the winter, you’d earn more bonus Marriott points with the 2nd option.

Even if you don’t have any Marriott stays planned, it’s worth signing-up.  Because it only takes a few minutes and you never know when a travel opportunity might come up! 😉

The bonus points should show in your account within 3 to 5 days after the qualifying stay.

With the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier personal or small business card, you can earn 80,000 Marriott points after completing minimum spending requirements.

If you get the personal version of the card, you can earn another 7,500 bonus Marriott points when you add an authorized user and make a purchase within the first 3 months of opening your account.  The $85 annual fee is NOT waived for the first year.

The $99 annual fee on the small business version of the card is also NOT waived for the first year.  Here’s my review of the offer.

Anyone with a Chase Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus (no longer available), or Ink Bold (no longer available) can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio.  Although they’re NOT my favorite transfer partner, it’s useful if you’re just short of the award stay you want.
