BETHESDA, Md., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott Rewards is making it easier to earn elite status by staying at any of Marriott Rewards 3,000 participating hotels for as few as five nights during the Double Nights promotion*. From now through June 26, 2009, members who register for the promotion will receive two nights for every one night they stay, making it faster than ever to reach elite member status. Registration is required. To register or find out more information, go to www.marriottrewards.com/doublenights.
Marriott Rewards has three elite levels -- Silver (10 nights), Gold (50 nights) and Platinum (75 nights). All elite members earn bonus points during their stays and have exclusive elite bonuses, an elite reservation line, priority late checkout, ultimate reservation guarantees and discounts at the hotels' retail stores. See MarriottRewards.com for elite benefits terms & conditions.
Marriott Rewards also recently announced an industry-first member enhancement, Elite Rollover Nights. Members who exceed the minimum number of elite nights needed to renew or achieve elite status may now roll over the extra nights into 2010. Members need not do anything. Extra nights at the end of 2009 will automatically be transferred into the member's 2010 account.
Marriott Rewards is free to join and points can be redeemed for hotel stays, frequent flyer miles, cruises, car rentals, brand-name merchandise and more. Marriott Rewards won the 2009 and 2008 Freddie Award for "Best Hotel Rewards Program" and has been named best hotel rewards program by the readers of Business Traveler, Global Traveler, Travel Savvy, Executive Travel and BusinessWeek magazines.
