Courtyard by Marriott Hotel-Airline Loyalty Promotions 2015-Q1 Marriott International Marriott Rewards (replaced by Marriott Bonvoy)

Marriott Rewards 50 million points giveaway as Courtyard reaches 1,000 hotels March 2015

Courtyard by Marriott is opening its 1,000th hotel this month in Walla Walla, Washington on March 31, 2015. There will be an estimated Marriott Rewards 50 million points giveaway on March 31 to celebrate the Courtyard brand milestone.

50,000,000 points would buy about 1,500 to 2,000 nights in the upper category hotels. You could even pack in a few million airline miles with Marriott’s Travel Packages for 7-night stays and 120,000 miles or even 132,000 miles with United MileagePlus.

Don’t get too excited though about a lifetime of free points travel.

On March 31, the opening day of the 1,000th Courtyard by Marriott, all guests worldwide staying at a Courtyard who are Marriott Rewards members will receive 1,000 bonus points. This is estimated to be 50 million points.

What confuses me though is Courtyard had almost 25,000 rooms worldwide on December 31, 2014. Assume every Courtyard room worldwide is occupied on March 31 by a Marriott Rewards member and all rooms earned 1,000 points. This is only 25 million points.

How did they come up with 50 million points?

    Where did you get the 25,000 room figure. If they have 1,000 hotels, they have more than 25,000 rooms, since that’s only 25 rooms/hotel. At 100 rooms, that’s 100,000, so the 50,000 awards seems reasonable.
