Select Terms and Conditions
Only eligible paid nights completed after card open date and during the promotion earning period will qualify towards the promotional offer. Eligible paid nights include all paid stays — including pre-paid stays and reservations which are paid with Marriott eGiftCards that are booked using the Marriott Bonvoy membership account of the eligible cardmember.
Eligible paid nights do NOT include:
- Award redemption stay nights — including Cash + Points Awards, Free Night Awards, or a points redemption
- Stays booked through third-party online retailers and travel agencies; and
- Stays at:
- Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy
- Marriott Executive Apartments®, and owner-occupied weeks at:
- Marriott Vacation Club®
- Marriott Grand Residence Club®
- Sheraton Vacation Club®
- Westin Vacation Club®
- The Ritz-Carlton Club®
- St. Regis Residence Club®
- Luxury Collection Residence Club.
Eligible paid nights do not need to be booked with an eligible card; but they must be booked under the eligible Marriott Bonvoy membership account number of the card member to count toward the promotional offer.
Only one room at one property per night will count towards the promotional offer. The eligible paid nights do not need to be part of the same stay; and can be achieved over multiple stays. The 125,000 bonus points will be awarded to the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account by Marriott up to twelve weeks after the sixth eligible paid night is completed. A Marriott Bonvoy member who elects to earn miles is not eligible for this promotional offer. To be eligible for this promotional offer, your eligible card account must be open and not in default at the time of promotional offer fulfillment. If your eligible card account is not open for at least six months, Marriott, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, and American Express reserve the right to deduct the bonus points from your Marriott Bonvoy membership account.
Other terms and conditions apply.
