Up to 10,000 bonus Marriott Rewards hotel points for London stays

UPDATE – JUNE 2025:  This Marriott article is now out of date, but don’t worry.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.

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 15th July 2025, the sign-up bonus on the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card is TRIPLED to 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. This would convert into 25,000 Avios or into 40 other airline schemes. It would also get you at least £300 of Marriott hotel stays based on our 0.5p per point low-end valuation. Other T&C apply and remain unchanged. Click here for our full card review and click here to apply.

Marriott Rewards has launched a number of decent bonus points packages for stays in London and the surrounding area, including Heathrow.

A 4-star stay will earn 5,000 bonus points (which I would value at £25) whilst a 5-star stay will earn 10,000 points (which I would value at £50).

The full list of participating hotels can be found here.

The good news is that there is no minimum stay requirement.  Being able to earn up to 10,000 bonus points from an overnight stay is very attractive.

The bad news is that room rates under this promotion are often either higher than the standard flexible rate or force you to book something more expensive than a standard room.

To book, you need to use promotional code M41 at the standard Marriott booking page.  Here are some pricing examples for 6th May:

Renaissance Heathrow – £144 with 5,000 bonus points (flexible rate, includes breakfast and internet) vs £129 (flexible with breakfast but no internet)

Marriott Grosvenor Square – £384 (Executive Room with 10,000 points, cancellable) vs £384 (cancellable, Executive Room)

With the latter, the price is the same – although you need to book the more expensive lounge-included Executive Room.

This offer is valid for stays until May 24th.
