Tips for Redeeming Points

Ready to Use Your Points? To use your points, you must order a reward certificate. Ordering certificates deducts the necessary points from your account and enables you to claim your well-deserved reward. If you'd like to redeem your points for a Marriott hotel stay, click the link below to find and reserve a room. For future Marriott hotel stay redemptions, go directly to Find & Reserve and check the box indicating you'd like to use Marriott Rewards points. Reserve with Marriott Rewards points >>

1. How do I use points for a stay at a Marriott hotel? Reserve with Marriott Rewards points >> If you have enough points at the time of reservation, your reward certificate will be forwarded electronically right to the hotel. Nothing to take--just show up! Learn more about "E-Certificates" >>  Back to top

2. What if I don't have enough points at the time of my reservation to redeem my hotel reward? If you have the required amount of points at the time you first make (or later modify) your reward reservation, your points will automatically be deducted from your account when you submit your new (or modified) reservation. If you do not have enough points at the time you first make (or later modify) your reward reservation, you can still reserve your room. When you make your reservation, be sure to select the option to "Use Marriott Rewards Points" for your hotel stay. Your room will be reserved, but your reward redemption will not be processed. You will receive an email confirmation of your room reservation only. Before your stay, you will either have to purchase points (can purchase 50,000 points per account per year) or make additional stays to earn enough points to cover the difference. Once you have enough points for your stay, you can order your reward online. Use the Look Up Reservations link to find your reservation, then use the Order your reward certificate link. Your points will be redeemed for your stay, and you will receive an email confirmation of your reward order along with a reminder of your reservation information. Please note that your hotel reward e-certificate will be accessible at your hotel upon check-in. You will not receive a certificate by mail.  Back to top
