Marriott Bonvoy has announced the details of its latest global promotion, which offers registered members 1,000 bonus points and one bonus elite night credit per paid night. There is no cap on the maximum points or elite night credits that members can earn.
This is similar to the offer we saw the same time last year, and while 1,000 points isnโt much to get excited about, the extra elite night credits could be lucrative for those hoping to qualify for a higher tier like Platinum.
Marriott Bonvoy bonus points and elite nights offer

This Marriott Bonvoy offer is valid for stays from 11 February to 28 April 2025. Members will need to register for this promotion by 14 April 2025, via the link above or the Promotion section of their account.
Registered members will earn:
- 1,000 bonus points per night, and
- 1 bonus elite night credit per night
For example, a five-night stay would earn a total of 5,000 bonus points and 10 elite night credits in total.
This offer is only valid for paid stays. Award nights, and nights booked with cash + points will not be eligible.
Bookings made before the promotional period began will also qualify; all that matters is that the stay is completed within that period. If your check-out date is after 28 April 2025, that stay wonโt be eligible.

Bonus points and elite nights will be posted to your account within 10 business days after checkout.
Is it worth participating?
If you were ever planning a Marriott Bonvoy status run, this would be the time to do it.
Thanks to the double elite nights, you could qualify for Platinum status with just 25 nights, instead of the usual 50. You have 77 nights in total to do this, and low-cost properties can be easily found in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Of course, you donโt need to accumulate all your qualifying nights during the promotion period (itโs certainly easier, though!), but itโs better to qualify sooner rather than later because any status earned in 2025 will be valid till 28 February 2027.
No stacking with KrisFlyer status accelerator
In December 2023, Marriott Bonvoy partnered up with Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer to offer a two-way status accelerator. This allows elites in one programme to qualify for elite status in the other at a reduced threshold.
If youโre a KrisFlyer Elite Gold, PPS Club or Solitaire PPS Club member, registering for the status accelerator will give you instant Marriott Bonvoy Gold, with a further upgrade to Platinum after staying 10 nights in six months.
KrisFlyer Tier | Instant Match Toโฆ | Status Accelerator Challenge |
Solitaire PPS Club & PPS Club | Gold | Platinum (10 nights in 6 months) |
KrisFlyer Elite Gold | ||
KrisFlyer Elite Silver | N/A | Silver (3 nights in 6 months) |
You may be wondering if this promotion cuts the requirement in half, and unfortunately the answer is no. This status accelerator is based on qualifying nights, not elite nights, so youโll still need to stay the full 10 nights to earn Platinum (which would earn you 20 elite night credits).
