The food and drink selection in a hotel lobby isn't necessarily the widest ranging or most diverse. Uber often will have access to dozens of restaurants and convenience stores close by, and you can earn points via the app quickly and easily. Just make sure to have the destination be the hotel name so the points credit properly.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Rent_a_Car\">Rent a Car<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/marriott-bonvoy\/hertz-status-match\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott partners with Hertz<\/a> to offer bonus points when renting with Hertz, Dollar, or Thrifty.

Benefits of booking a rental car with a linked Marriott account include unlimited miles, free cancellations, and the ability to reserve now and pay later.<\/p>\n<p>While 500 points per rental may sound like a win, it's not a significant amount in the grand scheme of things. You may be better off using a card like the <a data-ccid=\"4048272\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/capital-one-rewards\/venture-x\/\">Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/a> and using the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/capital-one-rewards\/capital-one-travel-portal\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Capital One travel portal<\/a>, as rental cars booked through here earn 10 points per dollar.

While these promotions don't come too often, when they do, it's a perfect way to rack up thousands if not tens of thousands of Bonvoy points and can be one of the most lucrative ways to earn Marriott points.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Buy_a_Marriott_Vacation_Package\">Buy a Marriott Vacation Package<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Book a vacation package through <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/marriott-bonvoy\/marriott-vacations-promotion\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Vacations by Marriott<\/a>.

Choose your type of vacation \u2014 from family-friendly to romance-centered \u2014 and receive bonus points based on the package you book.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a recent promotion offered 25,000 bonus points when you book 6+ nights to nearly any Marriott property worldwide. Each vacation package earns a different amount, so check regularly for the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vacationsbymarriott.com\/deals\" rel=\"noopener\">latest deals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These bonus points are in addition to the points you'll earn on your regular stay, as booking a vacation package is considered a direct booking channel. \u00a0Rooms are limited for the promotion, so if you're considering a package, book fast.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Buy_Marriott_Points\">Buy Marriott Points<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, you can also earn Marriott points by pulling out your credit card and simply buying them.
