As of October 1, 2026, Marriott Bonvoy is targeting some members with an "Exclusively for You" offer that pays a Free Night Award worth up to 35,000 points after each of two paid stays, for up to two awards. The stays have to be completed by November 30, 2026. It's targeted, so check your Marriott Bonvoy account to see whether you have it.

What the Offer Pays

If it's in your account, the offer works like this:

  • One Free Night Award worth up to 35,000 points after your first eligible paid stay
  • A second Free Night Award worth up to 35,000 points after your second eligible paid stay
  • Both stays completed by November 30, 2026

Each stay earns its own award, so one stay still gets you one award if a second trip doesn't happen. Only paid stays count.

What a 35,000-Point Award Gets You

Per Marriott's Free Night Award page, each award covers one night in a standard room, room rate and taxes included, at a participating hotel. You can add up to 25,000 of your own points to an award, which opens up hotels priced above the 35,000 on the certificate.

Our guide to topping up Marriott free night certificates works through where that extra room in the budget makes the biggest difference.

How to Check Whether You're Targeted

  1. Open the Marriott Bonvoy app or sign in at marriott.com.
  2. Go to the promotions area of your account and look for "Exclusively for You" offers.
  3. If the two Free Night Award offer is there, enroll before your first stay.
  4. Book paid stays at participating Marriott hotels and complete both by November 30.

Marriott has several targeted offers out this fall, including bonus points and elite night credit offers, so you may see a different one, or nothing at all.

When It's Worth Enrolling

If the offer is in your account and you already have two paid Marriott stays planned before the end of November, enroll. You'd collect two awards for stays you were taking anyway.

Booking extra stays just to trigger it is a different calculation. Price each extra stay against the hotel you'd actually use the award at, and check what that hotel costs in points before you book anything to earn it.

Marriott also has a public bonus points promotion running this fall. Check its terms if you're registering for both.

Check your account today, enroll if you're targeted, and finish both paid stays by November 30.
