UPDATE – APRIL 2024:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

Marriott Bonvoy is offering 1,000 bonus points per night and double elite night credits on stays between 13th February and 29th April. Click here to read more and click here to register.

Marriott Rewards has launched a new promotion offering 2,000 bonus Avios (or other airline miles) at 250 hotels across Europe this Summer.

There are 250 hotels taking part which are featured on this webpage.   The new JW Marriott in Venice, pictured below, is included.

You need to stay for a minimum of two weekend nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) between now and 13th September.

You need to use code M11 if booking via marriott.com.  The code is added automatically if you use the links from the promo page.

This deal is only valid for people who have their Marriott Rewards account set to collect airline miles instead of Marriott points from their stays.  Some hotels may have a separate points bonus on offer for points collectors.

As always with these promotions, you need to take care that you are not paying for the 2,000 Avios via an inflated rate.  I checked the Marriott York, for instance, and the promotional rate was the same as the standard cancellable rate which was good.  At a Courtyard in Berlin, however, you had to give up free breakfast to get the 2,000 Avios rate.

Full details and the list of participating hotels can be found here.

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points. These points convert at 1:1 into Avios.
