Guru’s Wrap-Up

The possibility to earn as much as 45K Marriott Rewards points every year, just through social media sounds great. But I don’t think they will be giving out points that easily. We’ll have to see what types of campaigns they run.

You should also be aware that you give them some control over your social media accounts while doing this. They actually require you to give them permission to post or delete post on your accounts although they say they never will.
