A new preferred partnership between Marriott Bonvoy and Lufthansa Group Miles & More was officially announced in London yesterday, Monday, September 15, 2025 — and it is designed to enhance travel experiences, reward loyalty and provide more ways for members of both membership programs to earn rewards and enjoy rewards through travel.
New Partnership Between Marriott Bonvoy and Lufthansa Group Miles & More Membership Programs
If you are a member of the Marriott Bonvoy membership program, you can link your Miles & More membership account in order to be able to earn Miles & More points towards frequent flier elite status on qualified stays at participating hotel and resort properties across at least 34 brands and approximately 10,000 global destinations.
Additionally, members of Miles & More who have earned Senator elite status and HON Circle Members automatically receive complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status and enjoy exclusive hotel benefits without any additional qualifications.
Under this strategic partnership, members of Marriott Bonvoy can earn 40 Miles & More points per qualified stay — up to a maximum limit of 120 Miles & More points per year. These bonus points are awarded in addition to the regular Marriott Bonvoy points or Miles & More miles that are earned from each stay, which significantly accelerates the progress of members toward higher Miles & More status tiers — and thus unlocking a range of exclusive privileges and benefits.
If you are not already a member of the Marriott Bonvoy membership program, you can join as a member now at no charge.
Other terms and conditions — including those of the partnership specifically, those of the Marriott Bonvoy membership program, and those of the Lufthansa Group Miles & More membership program — apply.
Final Boarding Call
This new preferred partnership could potentially be lucrative for you if you are a member of both the Marriott Bonvoy membership program and the Lufthansa Group Miles & More membership program. Be sure to link both of your membership accounts as soon as possible to take full advantage of this partnership.
