Marriott Bonvoy has launched an offer for Qatar Airways Privilege Club members to join the programme between now and the end of the year.

Sign up to Marriott Bonvoy and you’ll receive 250 Avios in your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account.

No stay is required!  Simply fill in the form and you get the points.

You really should have a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account if you don’t already, as it allows you to earn Avios from additional global partners, unlocking a world of travel experiences for members.

How do you join Marriott Bonvoy?

You can join Marriott Bonvoy and earn your 250 Avios in Qatar Airways Privilege Club via this link.

All it requires is your name, email address and your Qatar Airways Privilege Club number.

You will receive your 250 Avios within 60 business days.

Why should you join Marriott Bonvoy?

This is a very good opportunity to join Marriott Bonvoy if you don’t already have a membership.

Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s travel programme and marketplace, gives members access to a portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands, with approximately 9,000 hotels including W Hotels, JW Marriott, Autograph Collection, Moxy Hotels, Courtyard by Marriott and more. Whether you are looking for a luxury resort, a home rental for a family break, or a city base to work from you will find a Marriott Bonvoy option for you.

The collaboration between Marriott Bonvoy and Qatar Airways Privilege Club also gives you the opportunity to transfer points.  Members can convert three Marriott Bonvoy points for one Avios, and for every 60,000 points transferred you receive 5,000 bonus Avios.

This article also explains about the different elite status levels in Marriott Bonvoy, from Silver all the way through to Ambassador. Complete enough nights each year and you get benefits such as free breakfast, guaranteed 4pm check-out, upgrades and much more.

You can fast-track your way to Silver status simply by taking out the £95 Marriott Bonvoy American Express credit card – it comes with 15 elite night credits each year which is enough to immediately get you to Silver.

We have reviewed a lot of Marriott Bonvoy hotels on HfP in recent years if you search through our full hotel reviews index here.

In the last year alone, we have reviewed Manchester Marriott Hotel Piccadilly, Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood, Domes Novos Santorini (Autograph Collection), Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place, Sheraton Grand Krakow, Westin Grand Frankfurt, Dorothea Hotel Budapest (Autograph Collection), Marriott Berlin, The Shanghai EDITION, The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong, Hotel Imperial, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna, The Ritz-Carlton Vienna, Westin Yilan in Taiwan, W Taipei, Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville, Renaissance London St Pancras, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Bali, The St Regis Jakarta and Fairfield Jakarta Airport.

One thing to note ….

There is one bit of small print. Your new account will be set up to earn Avios (in Qatar Airways Privilege Club) rather than Marriott Bonvoy points on your future Marriott stays.

However, if you would prefer to collect Marriott Bonvoy points then you can change this in your account settings after the bonus has arrived.

Earning Avios from your stays is probably better for you, however. You are clearly not someone who stays regularly enough at Marriott hotels to build up enough points for a free night, or you’d already be a member! Taking Avios (most brands earn 2 Avios per $1 spent, pre tax) is cleaner.

The offer ends on 31st December 2024.
