1.1 JOIN THE LOYALTY PROGRAM

Enrollment. An eligible individual may enroll in the Loyalty Program by fully and accurately completing an application through a valid enrollment channel. Once an Account is opened in the individual’s name and a Membership Number is assigned, the individual becomes a “Member.” There is no fee or cost to enroll. Members are eligible to earn Points or any currency used by an airline’s frequent flyer program, whether it be miles, kilometers, points, etc. (collectively “Miles”) on their Account. Members are responsible for reading and understanding these Program Rules, their Account statements, and other Loyalty Program communications. The Company may refuse, suspend, or cancel enrollment, or refuse to open or maintain an Account, where the Company determines that the individual does not satisfy eligibility requirements, has provided incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information, already maintains an Account, or is otherwise ineligible under these Program Rules.

1.2 ELIGIBILITY

Age of Eligibility. Membership is free and available to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence and otherwise possess the legal authority to agree to the Program Rules. The Member must reside in a jurisdiction that legally permits participation in the Loyalty Program. Membership is not available to individuals residing in jurisdictions where participation is prohibited or restricted by applicable law, regulation, OFAC SDN designation, or Company policy.

Individual Eligibility to Earn. Unless otherwise stated or granted permission by the Company, corporations, groups, associations, and other entities cannot enroll as Members. Membership and benefits are void where prohibited or restricted by applicable law, regulation, gift policy, incentive policy, employment policy, or other rules applicable to the Member. Each Member is solely responsible for determining whether participation in the Loyalty Program, or the earning, receipt, redemption, or use of Points, Miles, Awards, Elite Status, benefits, or other value, is permitted under any law, regulation, gift policy, incentive policy, employment policy, or other applicable rule, and must notify the Company promptly if they are not eligible to earn, receive, redeem, or use any such benefit.

Employees of the Company. Employees of the Company and associates working at Marriott owned, leased, licensed, and managed locations may participate in the Loyalty Program through: (1) an Account identified as an employee of the Company; (2) timeshare ownership in Marriott Vacation Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club, or Vistana Residence Network (see Section 7.2); or (3) with an active Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit card account where available. Verified associate Accounts can participate in the Loyalty Program in accordance with the Program Rules, subject to restrictions and limitations identified in the Managed Associate Rules available for review on the Company’s intranet and other Marriott Channels. The Managed Associate Rules do not apply to employees of Company franchisees, licensees, and owners of Company-managed properties.

1.3 ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

One Account per Member. Accounts are intended for individual membership only and may not be opened, maintained, or used for any company, entity, group, association, or other non-individual purpose, unless otherwise stated or granted permission by the Company. A Member must provide valid and accurate personal information and must not have been previously terminated from the Loyalty Program by the Company.

Points, Awards, status, benefits, and other value associated with an Account belong to the individual Member whose name appears on the Account and may not be earned, held, redeemed, transferred, or used on behalf of a company or other entity except as expressly permitted in these Program Rules. Accounts are individual and may not be shared, jointly held, sold, bartered, or transferred except as expressly permitted in these Program Rules. If more than one Account is assigned to or used by the same individual, the Company may combine, merge, suspend, or cancel duplicate Accounts and may adjust associated Points, Awards, benefits, activity, and transaction history in accordance with these Program Rules.

Account Information and Communications. Members are responsible for keeping the mailing address, email address, personal details, and communication preferences associated with their Account accurate and current. Loyalty Program communications, including Account notices, Points balance reports, promotions, offers, and other information, may be sent via the Mobile App or to the mailing or email address on file and will be deemed received within a reasonable delivery period after being sent. The Company is not responsible for misdirected or lost communications resulting from outdated or inaccurate Account information. Members may review their Points balance and transaction history, update personal details and preferences, and manage communication preferences through their Account online or by contacting Member Support. Supporting documentation may be required for certain changes, and identity verification may be required when contacting Member Support.

When a Member contacts Member Support, the Company may ask security questions or use other verification methods (such as a one-time passcode) to confirm the Member’s identity. Member Support may monitor or record telephone calls for quality assurance, training, security, and service purposes, where permitted by applicable law. The Company may monitor Accounts and transaction history at any time and without notice for compliance with the Program Rules, including Points, Qualifying Stays, Qualifying Nights, Awards, benefits, and related activity.

1.4 POINTS, AWARDS, AND ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

Earning, Redemption, and Member Responsibilities. Members may earn Points or Miles and redeem Points, Awards, or other benefits only in accordance with these Program Rules and any applicable Partner Program terms. Points, Miles, Awards, and other benefits may be subject to income or other taxes, disclosures, or other obligations. Members are responsible for paying all such taxes and for making all applicable disclosures to third parties, including any party that paid for the transaction from which the Member earned Points, Miles, Awards, or benefits. Additional tax and Member responsibility terms are outlined in Section 1.9.

Qualifying Activity and Account Inactivity. Members must have “Qualifying Activity” at least once every twenty-four (24) months to retain accumulated Points, Awards, and other benefits. Qualifying Activity includes eligible Account activity such as earning or redeeming Points or Miles, purchasing Points, completing a Qualifying Stay, or converting Points or Miles with designated partners. Gifting, transferring, or receiving Points from another Member does not count as Qualifying Activity. If an Account has no Qualifying Activity for twenty-four (24) consecutive months, all accumulated Points, Awards, and other benefits will be forfeited and cannot be reinstated. If an Account remains inactive for five (5) consecutive years, the Account may be deactivated.

Award Cancellations and Points Expiration. Awards redeemed before Point forfeiture remain valid unless cancelled after the Points expiration date. If an Award is cancelled after the applicable Points expiration date and the Member has not completed Qualifying Activity to extend that date, the Points used for the Award will expire. Points in Lifetime Elite Status Accounts are not currently subject to expiration, but the Loyalty Program may apply an expiration policy to those Accounts in the future. The terms of the applicable airline frequent flyer program control the redemption, transfer, and distribution of Miles.

Missing Credit and Account Adjustments. Members may request missing credit for eligible Points, Miles, Qualifying Nights, Qualifying Stays, Qualifying Events, or other Qualifying Charges through the applicable Marriott Channels or Member Support, subject to any timing, documentation, and property- or program-specific requirements. Unless otherwise stated in these Program Rules or applicable Supplemental Terms, missing-credit requests must be received within one (1) year of the applicable activity and remain subject to any applicable posting timelines, request channels, documentation requirements, and property- or program-specific procedures. New Members may request credit for eligible activity completed during the thirty (30) days before enrollment if requested within one (1) year, but Qualifying Activity before that period and Participating Outlet charges without a Stay are not eligible. The Company may correct, adjust, cancel, or reconcile Points, Qualifying Nights, status, benefits, or transactions at any time in its sole discretion, including where a benefit was issued in error, the Member was not eligible, or fraudulent activity is suspected.

1.5 NO OWNERSHIP OR TRANSFER RIGHTS

Program Value Not Property. The Loyalty Program, Points, Awards, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, Elite Night Credits, and other related benefits and services are the sole property of the Company and are not the property of Members. Points, Awards, and other Member benefits have no cash value and may not be sold, bartered, transferred, assigned, exchanged, purchased, or otherwise conveyed except as expressly permitted in these Program Rules.

Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted in these Program Rules, Points, Awards, Elite Night Credits, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, and other benefits are not transferable. Permitted transfers are subject to all applicable conditions, limits, Account standing requirements, documentation and verification requirements, and procedures stated in these Program Rules, including Section 2.8 for Member-to-Member Points transfers. Limited transfers upon death or divorce may be permitted only as expressly authorized by the Company and subject to documentation and verification requirements as may be required by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company’s decisions regarding such transfers are at the Company’s sole discretion and final.

Unauthorized Transfers and Misuse. Any Points, Awards, benefits, or other program value sold, bartered, transferred, assigned, obtained, issued, redeemed, or used in violation of these Program Rules may be void, confiscated, cancelled, refused, reversed, or deducted by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company may also refuse, cancel, reverse, or reconcile any transfer, redemption, transaction, or benefit where the Company suspects fraud, abuse, misuse, ineligibility, unauthorized activity, or other violation of these Program Rules.

Legacy Programs. For purposes of these Program Rules, “Legacy Program” means each of the Marriott Rewards® Program, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Program, and the Starwood Preferred Guest® Program, which operated as a unified program before Marriott Bonvoy™ became the Loyalty Program in February 2019.

1.6 PROGRAM CHANGES, TERMINATION, AND ACCOUNT ACTIONS

Company Right to Modify Program Rules. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited or limited by applicable law, the Company may change, limit, modify, supplement, amend, suspend, or cancel the Loyalty Program, these Program Rules, Supplemental Terms, Partner Program participation, Partner Program earning or redemption opportunities, Awards, benefits, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, earning and redemption structures, Point or Miles accrual or redemption rates, redemption levels, Award availability, qualifying requirements, conditions of participation, and rules for earning, redeeming, retaining, transferring, converting, adjusting, correcting, or forfeiting Points, Miles, Awards, Elite Night Credits, status, benefits, or other Loyalty Program value, with or without notice, even if such changes affect the value of Points or Miles or the ability to obtain certain Awards or benefits.

Effective Date and Member Acceptance. Unless otherwise stated by the Company, any changes, modifications, supplements, or amendments to these Program Rules are effective when posted on Marriott Channels or otherwise communicated by the Company. Continued participation in the Loyalty Program, including maintaining an Account or earning, redeeming, transferring, converting, or using Points, Miles, Awards, or benefits after such changes become effective, constitutes acceptance of the then-current Program Rules. Members are responsible for remaining familiar with the current Program Rules and any applicable Supplemental Terms, Partner Program terms, offers, promotions, and benefit terms.

Program Termination. The Company may terminate the Loyalty Program, in whole or in part, with six (6) months’ advance notice to active Members, or with less notice where required or permitted by applicable law.  The Company may, at its sole discretion, substitute a similar loyalty program upon notice. If the Loyalty Program is terminated, Members may not accumulate Points, claim Awards, or claim Loyalty Program benefits or amenities after the termination effective date, and any unredeemed Points, Awards, benefits, or other Loyalty Program value will be forfeited after the applicable notice period, except as otherwise expressly stated by the Company or required by applicable law.

Company Account Actions and Remedies. The Company may cancel, suspend, restrict, or audit an Account; cancel, suspend, restrict, withhold, reverse, deduct, adjust, or forfeit Points, Miles, Awards, Elite Night Credits, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, benefits, transactions, or other Loyalty Program value; refuse enrollment, re-enrollment, earning, redemption, transfer, conversion, or benefit use; or take other action at any time with immediate effect and without written notice, in its sole discretion, including where the Company believes a Member has violated applicable law, these Program Rules, Supplemental Terms, Partner Program terms, offer terms, promotion terms, the Website Terms of Use, or any other applicable rule; provided incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information; failed to pay amounts owed to the Company, a Participating Property, or any applicable vacation ownership or residence club entity; fraudulently claimed eligibility; engaged in fraudulent, abusive, inappropriate, hostile, disruptive, or unauthorized conduct; misused the Loyalty Program, Marriott Channels, Points, Miles, Awards, benefits, or Account access; or engaged in misconduct or wrongdoing in connection with the Loyalty Program, Participating Properties, guests, employees, the Company, or Company employees. The Company’s decisions regarding actions and remedies are at the Company’s sole discretion and final.

Subject to applicable law, a Member’s membership in the Loyalty Program will terminate automatically if the Member files for bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings.

Member Cancellation. A Member may cancel their Account at any time by sending written notice of cancellation to Member Support. Upon cancellation by the Member, the Member may no longer earn, redeem, transfer, convert, or use Points, Miles, Awards, Elite Night Credits, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, benefits, or other Loyalty Program value associated with the Account, and the Account, Membership Number, Account access, unredeemed Points, Awards, and other benefits, and any achieved Elite Status or Lifetime Elite Status, will be cancelled or forfeited immediately and may not be reinstated or transferred, except as expressly permitted by the Company or required by applicable law. Cancellation may also affect pending or unused Awards, Free Night Awards, Nightly Upgrade Awards, benefits, reservations, transactions, or other activity associated with the Account.

Reapplication After Cancellation for Cause, Member Cancellation, or Inactivity. If the Company cancels a Member’s Account for cause, including for any reason described under Company Account Actions and Remedies above, the Member may not reapply for or open a new Account except in limited circumstances at the Company’s sole discretion. Any unauthorized Account opened in the Member’s name after cancellation for cause, and any Points, Awards, benefits, or activity associated with that Account may be forfeited upon discovery. If a Member voluntarily cancels an Account, or if an Account is deactivated due to inactivity, the Member may reapply at a later date; however, previously forfeited or expired Points, Awards, benefits, Elite Status, Lifetime Elite Status, or other Loyalty Program value will not be reinstated or transferred unless required by applicable law. Nothing in these Program Rules limits the Company from exercising any legal rights or remedies it may have.

i. In order to obtain Lifetime Elite Status, a Member must meet the below Lifetime Elite Status Criteria (4.2.f.) during the Member’s participation in the Loyalty Program. An “Eligible Status Year” is a calendar year during which a Member obtained Elite Status (Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite) by achieving the Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite Minimum Requirement. The calendar year in which a Member achieves Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite Status, as described in the prior sentence, will count as an Eligible Status Year, in addition to each subsequent year that such Member retains the benefits of Elite Status. For example, if a Member meets the Gold Elite Minimum Requirement during the 2025 Eligible Status Year by earning twenty-five (25) Eligible Nights and becomes a Gold Elite Member for the remainder of 2025 and for all of 2026, 2025 and 2026 will each count as separate Eligible Status Years.

ii. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not a Member has met the requirements to achieve Lifetime Elite Status. Once a Member achieves Lifetime Elite Status as described in 4.2.b, the Member is not subject to meeting the Elite Status Minimum Requirement in any subsequent Eligible Status Year in order to remain an Elite Member unless the Elite Member’s Account was cancelled.

iii. Lifetime Elite Status only provides a Member with Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, or Titanium Elite status and protection against the forfeiture of Points even if the Lifetime Elite Member is inactive. It does not prevent the Company from suspending Lifetime Elite Status or cancelling a Member’s Account. Lifetime Elite Members will receive the benefits of Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, or Titanium Elite Members, which are subject to change from time to time.

4.2.f. Lifetime Elite Status Criteria. Members can earn Lifetime Elite Status through the following criteria:

The Recipient Member must (i) be the gifting Achieving Member’s companion, spouse, or significant other, and (ii) not yet have achieved Ambassador Elite Status within the current Eligible Status Year, as defined in Section 4.2.e.

The Recipient Member can only keep Ambassador Elite status when the Achieving Member re-earns the Plus One Benefit and continues to authorize Recipient Member’s Account for the Plus One Benefit or when the Recipient Member achieves Ambassador Elite status on their own. 

(E) Under no circumstances will the Loyalty Program provide Achieving Members or Receiving Members any Account details or personal Member information in order to facilitate the Plus One Benefit.

(F) If the desired recipient of the Plus One Benefit is not currently a Member, then desired recipient must register at marriottbonvoy.com/join before the Plus One Benefit can be provided. Additionally, the Recipient Member cannot be a Marriott associate. 

(G) For any changes to your Plus One Benefit recipient, reach out to Ambassador Service or your personal Ambassador for a one-time change. 

(H) The Recipient Member will be assigned to the personal Ambassador of the Achieving Member.
