The amount of Marriott Bonvoy points to combine with a Free Night Award has increased by 10,000 points from 15,000 points to 25,000 points, which allows for increased flexibility when booking reservations for award redemption stays.

A Free Night Award can be earned through several ways:

  • Marriott Bonvoy Elite Benefits — such as the Annual Choice Benefit when you reach 75 Elite Night Credits
