Free Marriott breakfast when you pay with Visa

Marriott has launched a new promotion with Visa offering free breakfast at 250 hotels across Europe, including the new JW Marriott Venice below.  Many Marriott-owned brands are covered as well as Marriott itself.

You need to book by 10th September for stay by 11th September and pay for your stay with a Visa card.  You need to check pricing when booking as some Marriott promotions do result in higher prices than you would usually pay.

Full details are on the Marriott UK site here.
