Marriott Bonvoy is one of the most sought-after loyalty programs and is now offering a “Free Night Award” to targeted members. Usually, we don’t see such promotions from Marriott. But any chance to have a Free Night Award is great. Free Night Award is only available to Titanium Members upon achieving 75 nights as an “Annual Choice Benefit”. But here, you don’t have to stay for 75 nights to get one free night. Here is how this works.
Free Night Award Offer [Targeted]
The free night award offer is targeted so you won’t find it on the Marriott website. However, to see if you’re targeted, you can go to your “Promotions” tab once logged in. Once you find the offer, you will have to register for this offer. Otherwise, you won’t get any benefit from this offer.
If you couldn’t find the offer in your promotions, try registering here.
Once registered, you will see the below tab to know you have successfully registered for this promotion. And you can complete two stays within two months from the end of your registration month. So, if you register in June, you must complete your stay by 31st Aug 2023.
Things to Know
You must stay twice at any Marriott Property (except by paying it in cash. And free night will be credited after 3-5 business days after completing the second qualifying stay. A caution here is that the free night award is not unlimited. You can book a night stay for redemption points up to 35000 Marriott Points. Your award is consumed if you use it for a stay of less than 35000 Marriott points. And, if you like a property that goes with 50000 Points, you can use your additional 15000 points.
So, a free night award technically gets to 35000 points you can use for one night. These awards usually are valid for one year, so you will have enough time to use them.
How good is the “Free Night Award Offer”?
The promotion is decent for most. Making two separate night stays gets you 35000 Points worth INR 21000. So, your cost for two stays for this offer should be less than at least INR 21K. In any case, it is a bonus for those who had booked or had plans to book their hotels. So, it is a decent offer but not that great for making a separate stay.

Bottomline
Marriott Free Night Award offer is decent and great if you know where to use it. It would make sense to use it where the room costs are high or at a decent property. I already have plans, so let’s see how it goes. Overall, a decent offer maybe not for everyone.
