Marriott just launched a promotion that turns your daily food habit into free hotel nights. The Eat Around Town promo lets Bonvoy members earn 750 bonus points per day on dining and takeout purchases through June 30, 2026 — with a cap of 22,500 bonus points if you max it out every single day of the promotion.
That's on top of whatever base points your Bonvoy credit card already earns. Here's how to stack both.
What Is Eat Around Town?
Eat Around Town is a Marriott Bonvoy dining promotion that awards 750 bonus Bonvoy points for each day you make at least one qualifying food or beverage purchase. Qualifying purchases include restaurants, bars, cafes, and food delivery apps.
Key details:
- Promotion period: Now through June 30, 2026
- Bonus points: 750 per qualifying day
- Maximum bonus: 22,500 points (30 days x 750 points)
- Registration required: Yes — you must opt in through your Marriott Bonvoy account before earning
- Eligible members: Bonvoy members with a linked credit card registered to the promotion
Registration is the step most people miss. Log into your Marriott Bonvoy account, find the promotion in the "Offers" section, and opt in before you spend. Purchases made before registration do not count.
How Much Are These Points Worth?
Marriott Bonvoy points are worth approximately 0.7 to 0.9 cents each for cash-rate redemptions, but you can squeeze out closer to 1.2 to 1.5 cents per point on Category 1-4 property redemptions or peak-season bookings.
At a conservative 0.8 cents per point, the full 22,500-point bonus is worth roughly $180 in hotel stays. At 1.2 cents, you're looking at closer to $270 in value — not bad for eating at places you'd visit anyway.
For context, a Category 3 property like a Fairfield or Courtyard often prices at 17,500 to 25,000 points per night. A maxed-out Eat Around Town promo could cover most or all of a free night by itself.
Stack It With Your Bonvoy Credit Card
This is where it gets interesting. If you're paying for those dining purchases with a Marriott Bonvoy card, you're earning base points on top of the bonus — not instead of it.
The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card earns 4x Bonvoy points per dollar at restaurants worldwide (on up to $15,000 in combined restaurant and U.S. supermarket purchases annually). The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card earns 3x points on the first $6,000 in combined dining, gas, and grocery purchases each year. If you hold the premium Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card, you're earning 3x points at restaurants worldwide with no category spending cap to worry about.
Even a modest $15/day in food spending at 4x earns 60 base points per day. Over 30 days, that's 1,800 additional points — plus the 22,500 bonus. Small numbers, but they're entirely passive.
If dining out is already part of your routine, this promotion effectively gives you a free points multiplier with zero behavior change required.
Who Should Prioritize This
You should register immediately if:
- You already have a Marriott Bonvoy account with a linked card
- You eat at restaurants or order delivery at least a few times per week
- You're working toward a specific redemption (a Category 4 property, a points top-up for an upcoming stay)
- You hold elite status and want to accelerate toward a qualifying night threshold
Skip it if:
- You're not a Bonvoy member and don't have upcoming Marriott stays planned — the points will likely expire before you find a use for them
- You primarily cook at home and won't change your habits for 750 points per day
This promo rewards consistency, not big spending. A single $8 coffee counts the same as a $200 dinner for the 750-point daily bonus.
Bottom Line
The Marriott Eat Around Town promo is a genuinely easy win for anyone who already eats out or orders delivery. Register your account now, pay with your Bonvoy card, and let 22,500 bonus points build up quietly through June 30. That's potentially a free night at a mid-tier Marriott property for doing nothing differently than you already do.
