Marriott Bonvoy has launched a fresh global promotion for spring 2026, and it’s a good one for both points collectors and status chasers. From February 25 through May 10, 2026, members can earn 2,500 bonus points on every stay and collect one bonus Elite Night Credit for each different brand they try.
If you’re planning several trips this spring, this promotion can quietly accelerate your path to higher status, while stacking extra points for future free nights.
Let’s break it down in simple terms and show you how to maximize it.

How the Promotion Works
The concept is simple. After registering for the promotion, you will receive 2,500 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for every eligible paid stay you complete during the earning period. There is no limit to the number of stays, which means the bonus can add up quickly if you travel frequently.
In addition to the points, Marriott rewards you for brand variety. For every different Marriott brand you try, you earn one bonus Elite Night Credit. If you stay at a Sheraton, a Westin, and a JW Marriott during the promotion, you will receive three additional Elite Night Credits – one for each brand.
The promotion runs on stays completed between February 25 and May 10, 2026. Registration is required and must be completed by April 26, 2026. Only stays completed after registration will qualify.
Why This Promotion Is Interesting
At first glance, 2,500 points per stay may not look spectacular. But the real value appears when you combine multiple short stays and different brands.
Because the bonus is awarded per stay, not per night, even one-night stays can be very rewarding. Business travelers or those hopping between cities can accumulate bonus points quickly.
The additional Elite Night Credits are particularly valuable for members aiming for higher status levels such as Platinum or Titanium Elite. Since elite status in Marriott Bonvoy is based on nights, every extra credit moves you closer to benefits like lounge access, complimentary breakfast, suite upgrades, and late checkout.
If you hold a Marriott credit card that already provides annual Elite Night Credits, this promotion can significantly accelerate your progress toward higher tiers.
Important Exclusions to Keep in Mind
Award stays, including Free Night Awards, Cash + Points bookings, or full points redemptions, are not eligible for this promotion. Certain brands and property types are also excluded, including Marriott Executive Apartments, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and most Vacation Club and Residence Club properties.
Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy paid stays do qualify, but bonus points and Elite Night Credits for those bookings may take up to six weeks after the promotion ends to post to your account.
Members who choose to earn airline miles instead of Marriott Bonvoy points are not eligible for this offer.
Conclusion
Marriott’s spring 2026 promotion is straightforward and flexible. You earn 2,500 bonus points per eligible stay and one bonus Elite Night Credit for each different eligible hotel brand at which you stay during the 75-day promotion earning period. There is no limit on the number of stays, which makes it especially attractive for active travelers.
If you already plan to stay with Marriott this spring, registering for the promotion is an easy decision. The combination of bonus points and extra Elite Night Credits can bring you closer to free nights and higher status, without requiring longer stays or higher spending.
