You’d think that living in hotels would make it easy to use all the free night certificates my wife and I get from our credit cards. That’s sadly not the case. This might also seem unfair, but it’s often our dog’s fault. Our first issue is finding a pet-friendly hotel. Our second issue is the pet fee. Most pet-friendly hotels where we can use our free night certificates charge a $75-$100 pet fee per stay.…
A day late and a dollar short, story of my life :-). There’s a new Amex Offer out today for Marriott Bonvoy properties that came out a day after I checked out from a week at a Marriott property (as fate would have it). Sync it up now so you don’t end up with the same envy in your heart for those of you who haven’t yet checked out of a property today — or be prepared…
Chase has unveiled a new fee-free Marriott Bonvoy card: Bonvoy Bold. Is the new card worth getting? Is it worth keeping? Let’s dig in… Confusing Bonvoy card names Why do credit card companies love alliteration? This just confuses customers. Consider the currently available Marriott Cards: Bonvoy Bold, Bonvoy Boundless, Bonvoy Business, Bonvoy Brilliant. Can you keep track of which is which? Nope. I can’t either. But my Marriott credit card comparison chart should help. This…
This guide has been updated to include the all new Marriott Bonvoy Bold credit card. Marriott Bonvoy is the all-in-one rewards program which replaced Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest, and Ritz-Carlton Rewards. Compared to other programs, in my opinion, Marriott Bonvoy offers better than average rewards for paid stays, a strong elite program (but not best overall), best-in-class options for point transfers to airline miles, a huge selection of hotels that run from very low…

The Deal Targeted 40% or 50% transfer bonus when transferring Amex Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy. Key Terms End date: There is no listed end date for this targeted bonus.

Hawaii continues to be one of my favorite destinations in the world. And Kauai, in particular, is my favorite island. It’s simply drop-dead gorgeous everywhere you look. Now, here’s a tip from a reader that will especially appeal to those with 25K Marriott free night certificates or category 1-4 travel package certificates. There is a 25K per night property in Kauai that is awful at the moment, but may be great (or at least pretty…
This year, I’ll probably hit 75 nights with Marriott for Titanium status. It’s the most loyal I’ve ever been to a hotel chain, and yet the least excited I’ve been about hotel loyalty. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll enjoy free breakfast (at most hotels) and a 4pm checkout. And it’s easy to be “loyal” since Marriott is everywhere. Yet Marriott simultaneously makes it hard to be loyal since they nearly turn “dropping the ball” into…

Marriott Bonvoy is once again offering a faster path to elite status for some members: emails are being sent out offering double elite night credits on paid stays. This offer is targeted.
