Marriott Bonvoy x Emirates Offer: Earn 5,000 Bonus Bonvoy Points on Your First Stay
Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards have launched a limited-time promotion that lets eligible members earn 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points after completing one eligible paid stay by 30 September 2026, 11:59 PM EDT (1 October 2026, 9:29 AM IST).
If you're already a member of either Marriott Bonvoy or Emirates Skywards, simply create the other free account, link both programmes and register before completing your stay.
How to earn 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points
Marriott Bonvoy has introduced a limited-time promotion for members who also have an Emirates Skywards account.
To earn the 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points:
Step 1: Link your Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards accounts.
Step 2: Register for the promotion on Marriott's official promotion page between 15 July and 30 September 2026.
Step 3: Complete your first eligible paid stay at a participating Marriott Bonvoy hotel worldwide by 30 September 2026, 11:59 PM EDT.
You'll receive 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points in addition to the regular points earned from your stay.
Note: You can earn the 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points only once per eligible member, even if you complete multiple qualifying stays.
Who can earn Marriott Bonvoy points?
You are qualified for this offer if you:
Have a Marriott Bonvoy membership.
Have an Emirates Skywards membership.
Link both loyalty accounts through the Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards partnership.
Register before completing your qualifying stay.
Stay at a participating Marriott Bonvoy hotel on an eligible paid rate during the promotion period.
If you don't already have an Emirates Skywards account, you can join for free, link it with Marriott Bonvoy and then register for the promotion.
Note: Marriott states this offer is available only to eligible Marriott Bonvoy members who receive the promotion, so check your Bonvoy promotions page or registered email before planning a stay around it.
Key terms and conditions
Requirement | Details |
Registration | Mandatory before completing your stay, by 30 September 2026, 11:59 PM EDT (1 October 2026, 9:29 AM IST) |
Promotion period | 15 July to 30 September 2026 |
Maximum bonus | 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, once per member |
Eligible stays | First eligible paid stay only |
Booking channel | Book directly with Marriott or a recognised travel advisor. Most prepaid third-party bookings do not qualify |
Award stays | Not eligible |
Cash + Points stays | Not eligible |
Third-party bookings | Most prepaid bookings through sites like Expedia or Booking.com do not qualify |

A stay refers to consecutive nights at the same hotel, regardless of check-in or check-out activity.
Marriott Bonvoy members who choose to earn Emirates Skywards Miles instead of Bonvoy points are not eligible.
The offer applies only to individual members, not group bookings.
Marriott also states that this promotion can run alongside other Bonvoy points promotions active during the same period but the points earned from each promotion are counted separately rather than combined into a single bonus for the same stay.
Why this offer is worth claiming
Unlike many hotel promotions that require multiple stays or minimum night requirements, this offer only needs one qualifying paid stay.
Your stay needs to be booked on a rate that normally earns Marriott Bonvoy points, so most standard and discounted paid rates qualify while non-qualifying rate types do not.
Another advantage is that bookings made before 15 July 2026 are still eligible, provided you register before your stay and complete the stay by 30 September 2026.
On their own, 5,000 Bonvoy points won't cover a full stay at most hotels, but they can meaningfully reduce the points needed for your next redemption or help you reach an award faster.
Marriott Bonvoy × Emirates Skywards partnership benefits
The offer is part of the long-running partnership between Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards, which lets eligible members earn rewards across both hotel stays and flights.
This promotion is available through that partnership, which is why linking both accounts is required before registration.
Depending on your elite status, linked members may also receive additional benefits such as:
Earn Marriott Bonvoy points and Emirates Skywards Miles on eligible stays and flights.
Convert Marriott Bonvoy points into Emirates Skywards Miles.
Transfer Emirates Skywards Miles into Marriott Bonvoy points, where applicable.
Enjoy additional elite recognition and reciprocal benefits, depending on your membership status.
If you already have a Marriott stay planned before the promotion ends, registering for this promotion could earn you an extra 5,000 Bonvoy points on top of your regular rewards. At SaveSage, we keep track of the latest hotel loyalty promotions, airline partnerships and credit card offers so you never miss an easy opportunity to maximise your points and travel rewards.
