The Marriott Rewards Program has been combined with the SPG Program to become one program. You can get all the details of the combined Marriott/SPG Program here.
Below, I outline the main ways in which to earn and accumulate Marriott Rewards points. Read about how we earned a ton of Marriott Rewards points on our stay at the Atlantis.
1. Visit a Marriott Resort and spend $
Marriott Rewards members earn (depending on the brand of Marriott hotel) five to ten points for every eligible dollar spent at Marriott Resorts. These dollars can be spent on hotel stays, and at times, even on spa and restaurant charges even if you are not staying at the hotel. (Exceptions apply). You can also earn ten Marriott Rewards points per dollar on stays at Marriott’s Partner, Ritz Carlton Resorts. Marriott Rewards Elite members earn a bonus points on base points. Silver members earn a 20% point bonus, Gold members earn a 25% point bonus and Platinum members earn a 50% point bonus.
2. Use one of your Chase Marriott Rewards cards.
With a Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card, Marriott Rewards Members earn…….
6 points for every $1 spent at all Marriott properties (including Ritz) and Starwood properties
2 points for every $1 on all purchases
With a Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card (not available to new cardmembers), Marriott Rewards Members earn…….
5 points for every $1 spent at all Marriott properties and Starwood properties
2 points for every $1 spent on airline tickets purchased directly from the airline and at car rental agencies and restaurants

3. Transfer points from you Chase Ultimate Rewards account
If you are a Chase Ultimate Rewards member you can transfer you can transfer your Ultimate Rewards points, in 1,000-point increments, to your Marriott Rewards account. Your points always transfer at 1:1 value. That means one point equals one Marriott Rewards point.
4. Transfer points from your SPG account
Now that the loyalty programs are merged, you can link your accounts and transfer your SPG points to your Marriott Rewards account. The points transfer on a one-to-three ratio, that is, one SPG point yields 3 Marriott/Ritz Rewards points.
