Marriott Points Calculator: How Many Points You Earn With Each Stay

Discover the Magic Formula for Earning Marriott Points

Are you curious in how to get the most out of your Marriott Bonvoy points?Let us solve the puzzles that determine how many points you will accrue for each visit.

You can use this calculator to find out how many Marriott Bonvoy points you will accrue while visiting.

The amount of points you accrue at Marriott is determined by a number of different criteria. These consist of the brand you stay at, your elite status level, whether you participated in a Marriott promotion, and if you paid for your stay using a Marriott co-branded credit card.

Base Rate & Eligible Charges:

First of all, you should be aware that the entire amount on your folio (invoice) does not go toward your point total. Points are not awarded for fees, taxes, or other charges that are made to your room, like as excursions or a game of golf (unless you use a Marriott Co-Branded Credit Card, which we will discuss later).

For every dollar you spend on eligible charges in addition to the regular room cost at most Marriott properties, you will receive 10 points.

The one exception to this is that you will only receive 5 points for every dollar spent if you stay at one of Marriott's extended stay locations. Brands for extended stays include:

• Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy

• Four Points Express by Sheraton

• City Express

• Element

• Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy

• Protea Hotels

• Residence Inn

• TownePlace Suites

• Marriott Executive Apartments (earn 2.5 base points per dollar spent)

Additionally, you will accrue points for "Qualifying Room Charges," as defined by Marriott. This covers extras like internet fees, in-room entertainment, and room service. They usually also cover food and drinks that you charge to your accommodation that you purchase on the site.

Charges that will not earn Bonvoy points

• Taxes

• Service Charges

• Gratuities

• Food and beverages when the restaurant is are not managed or operated by the hotel your are staying at.

• Third-Party Services (e.g. parking, business center, Water-Sport rentals etc.)

• Certain Room Rates (  Non-Qualifying Room Rates  )

• Group/Convention Rates settled through a Master Bill

• Airline Crew Room charges

• Tours or Prepackaged Deals booked through Travel Agents

• Wholesale Rates

• Third-Party bookings (e.g. Priceline, Orbitz, Expedia, etc.)

• The Cash portion of a Cash + Points Rate

Elite Status

If you have  elite status with Marriott Bonvoy , you’ll earn a bonus on your base points, as follows:

• Silver – 10% Bonus

• Gold – 25% Bonus

• Platinum – 50% Bonus

• Titanium – 75% Bonus

• Ambassador – 75% Bonus

Paying with a Marriott Co-Branded Credit Card

This is where your entire stay's expense becomes relevant. Marriott Bonvoy points are awarded for the full cost of your bill, not just the base room fee, if you pay using a credit card that is co-branded by the hotel.

Therefore, when you pay with a Marriott credit card, you will get points for items like taxes, fees, and anything else you charge to your stay, even though you won't receive basic Marriott Bonvoy points for them.

When I intend to use a credit card to pay for a stay at a Marriott, I always make sure to charge everything to my room in order to receive additional bonus points.

Hilton Promotions

For every eligible paid night, earn 1,000 bonus points and one bonus Elite Night Credit. It is necessary to register. Registration closes on April 15, 2024.

Here's another method to extend your stay and get extra points. If you're not aware, Marriott runs specials two to four times a year, usually on the first of the month.

These are one-of-a-kind promos that can help you reach elite rank faster and earn more points.

Always sign up for every hotel program loyalty promotion when it comes out. You must register to qualify and there is no cost to register. Don’t miss out on the extra points because you forgot to register!
