Quick Overview

Marriott Bonvoy members earn up to 23.5 points per $1 spent between base points, elite status points, and points from a Marriott credit card.
Members earn 10 base points per $1 at most Marriott properties; exceptions include 5 points at Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, and Element, and 2.5 points at Executive Apartments and ExecuStay.
Elite status bonus points vary by status level: 10% for Silver, 25% for Gold, 50% for Platinum, and 75% for Titanium and Ambassador Elite. No bonus is available for non-status members.
Using a Marriott co-branded credit card to pay for your stay adds up to 6 points per $1 on eligible stays.
Base points and elite points post after your stay, while credit card points post after each billing cycle.

Use our Marriott Points Per Stay Calculator to see how many points you’ll earn on your next stay, factoring in hotel brand, elite status, and if you pay with a Marriott co-branded card.

How are Marriott base points calculated?

Marriott Bonvoy members earn up to 10 base points per $1 spent at most Marriott properties. The exceptions to this are Residence Inn, Towneplace Suites, and Element brands which will earn you 5 base points per $1 and Executive Apartments and Execustay will earn you 2.5 base points per $1.

This means that a $200 stay at most Marriott properties would earn you 2,000 points.

Marriott Brand	Base Points Earned Per $1
Executive Apartments, Execustay	2.5
Residence Inn, Towneplace Suites, Element	5
All other Marriott brands	10

How are Marriott elite status points calculated?

Marriott Bonvoy Members with elite status will earn up to a 75% point bonus on the base rate. For most Marriott hotels, this will earn you up to an additional 7.5 points per $1 spent.

So a $200 stay as a Titanium Member would earn you 2,000 base points plus an additional 1,500 points (75% bonus) for a total of 3,500 points.

Level	Bonus	Max Points Earned
Member	No Bonus	0
Silver	10%	1
Gold	25%	2.5
Platinum	50%	5
Titanium	75%	7.5
Ambassador Elite	75%	7.5

How are Marriott credit card points calculated?

You can earn additional Marriott Bonvoy points by using a Marriott credit card to pay for your stay.

Unlike base points and elite status points, Marriott credit cards allow you to earn points on the entire cost of the stay which includes the taxes and fees. This is because your room charge will appear as a single Marriott charge on your credit card and statement.

Another big difference is that points earned with Marriott credit cards will post to your account after your statement ends. They are not added to your balance shortly after your stay like base points and elite status points.

Example: A $200 stay as a Titanium Member using a Marriott credit card that earns 6X on Marriott spend would earn 2,000 base points, 1,500 points from elite status, and 1,200 credit card points for a total of 4,700 Marriott Bonvoy Points.
