Loyalty Traveler Analysis:
In Q-1 2011 Marriott Rewards MegaMiles offered triple miles. A $200 stay at a Courtyard hotel brand earned only 400 bonus miles on top of the 200 base miles last year for 600 total miles.
2012 Marriott Rewards MegaBonus for the same $200 spend at a Courtyard hotel earns 2,000 bonus miles plus 200 base miles for a total 2,200 miles on a $200 stay. This offer is far more generous for 2012 stays. Earning 2,000 bonus miles on a $70 Fairfield Inn hotel stay is quite the MegaMiles bonus.
This is a good miles earning promotion from Marriott Rewards. I wonder what the MegaBonus points promotion offer will be for Q1-2012?
