Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards, and Starwood Preferred Guest have announced a great new expanded benefit for members of their co-brand credit cards following Marriott International’s recent acquisition of Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
Starting today, Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card by American Express Card Members in the U.S. can earn two Starpoints® for every eligible dollar spent using the Card directly at hotels participating in Marriott Rewards globally. Likewise, Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card from JPMorgan Card Members in the U.S. can earn five Marriott Rewards or The Ritz-Carlton Rewards points for every eligible dollar spent using their respective Card on qualifying purchases made at participating global SPG properties.
This will surely add value to whichever one of these cards you hold, since it expands earning possibilities. You could already convert points and status match between the programs. After the merger, Marriott now has a diverse portfolio of 30 brands in over 110 countries across the globe, with more than 5,700 hotels.
