This offer seems to be a recurring one that we see a couple of times each year although each time the hotels that participate do vary. For this summer’s version of the promo 14 Marriott Hotels across Canada have jumped on for stays between June 10 and August 31. The bonus 1,000 Rewards Points per night for a maximum of 5 nights per stay. I did a couple of spot checks on rates and the bonus offer is the same as the regular and/or standard rate at all the locations I checked (3 out of the 14). The only rate I could find cheaper was the AAA/CAA rate which was $10 less. With varying accounts of what a Marriott Rewards point is worth those 1,000 Bonus Points per night can be valued between $5 and $10. So if you are a CAA member you are probably better off going with the AAA/CAA rate however if you are not paying for your room (ie Screw your employer rate) than paying the bonus offer rate will reward you more. You can also increase the amount of points you earn by putting the hotel stay on the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa. (Read my review of the card here)
