Marriott Rewards Program {Review}

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Millennial Central for Marriott Rewards. I received Marriott Points to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Today I’m blogging as part of the Marriott Rewards® Ambassador program and this is the second of a serious of three posts. My family and I stayed at the Residence Inn Portland Downtown/RiverPlace – Marriott in April and the property and location was FAB! We really liked our room and how close we were to everything downtown!  I wanted to take a minute and chat about the actual Marriott Rewards program and my experience redeeming points for our one-night stay.

In case you didn’t know, the Marriott Rewards program is free to join and every time you stay in a Marriott property, you earn points that can be redeemed for free nights (you can enroll here: Marriott.com/rewards). I am loving all our racked up points!

Based on your stays and points, you also gain status and each tier comes with even greater benefits. As a Platinum Elite member, you gain privileges such as 48-hour guaranteed availability, exclusive offers, dedicated Platinum reservation line, 50% bonus on points for stays, free wifi, and late checkout.

Here is a fun video for you all to share our experience:

*Video Update* // There is actually another nomination period in August!

Also, don’t forget that Marriott Rewards is celebrating it’s 30th birthday with a Year of Surprises. You can nominate friends or family for a surprise party at yearofsurprises.com by sharing your ideas for a celebration. I am so excited about this! The second round of nominations takes place May 1 to May 31, so enter soon (full rules at yearofsurprises.com/rules!

Disclaimer: Millennial Central is providing me with a promotional item and Marriott points in exchange for this post series, but I was not pressured to write a positive review and all opinions expressed in today’s post are mine alone.
