At present, the biggest travel expense is accommodation. When staying, many people usually choose Marriott Hotel. The price of this hotel is relatively expensive, but there will be certain discounts when booking, so friends who want to go can see what preferential activities are available. Marriott membership
Marriott's membership program is Marriott Travel Home.
At present, there are three life-long membership levels. Just know the top-grade life-long platinum card: 6 valid nights +1-year platinum membership. It is of no special use to send a rare edition Marriott metal card.
The regular membership grades updated every year include: member-silver card-gold card-platinum-titanium gold-ambassador
The first three grades need not be known, that is, ordinary members, who cannot enjoy the sense of honor in the Marriott system.
If I have to compliment you, tell me about the gold card that can be matched by the centurion and the flying pig. Welcome gift points will be given when the gold card is checked in. The room type can be upgraded, but don't expect a suite, breakfast or executive lounge. It's absolutely wishful thinking.
There is a saying that the gap between gold and platinum cards is really hell and heaven.
From the beginning of Marriott Platinum membership, you can clearly feel the extraordinary enjoyment brought by membership blessing. Such as free access to the executive lounge, room upgrade to a suite, and breakfast for two. There is also the annual courtesy of reaching the standard for 5 nights.
Marriott's high-end membership can also be used to bless your credit card hotel rights, turning decay into magic.
Some brands have special policies on treatment, such as Ritz-Carlton, Addison and some design hotels. At the same time, it also depends on regional policies. Generally, hotels in Greater China are relatively kind, and overseas hotels should follow the terms. I made a picture. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. After all, I am just a platinum slag.
platinum and titanium membership are recommended for this wall crack, and platinum is relatively easy to achieve. See the following for specific methods.
what is the advantage of titanium gold over platinum? Under the same conditions, if the Platinum membership is positioned, the first two relegation * * * need 1 valid room nights; Positioning titanium membership, after 75 nights, even if you don't relegate in the first year, you will be treated if you fall into platinum in the second year, which saves 25 room nights. If you don't understand, forget it, just chase platinum and bring the most cost-effective white-picking game immediately. Platinum Challenge
There are currently three poses for Platinum Challenge.
Marriott officials choose
16 nights in cash within p>9 days. Just call customer service to apply, 4-83-255, usually starting the next month.
Flying Pig F3 is free
Stay in cash for 8 nights within p>12 days. Flying Pig's experience value reaches 2,. You can participate when you get F3 invitation and get Marriott membership card. It is also the time to start the next month. K plans to provide a zero-cost F3 through train.
Taobao 88VIP for free
8 nights in cash within p>12 days. If the naughty value exceeds 1 points, you can participate by purchasing 88VIP members in 88 yuan, and you need to be qualified to purchase. It's also the next month that the timer starts.
The principle of Platinum Challenge is that you only need to stay for 8-16 nights to qualify for cash. After the success of the challenge, you can enjoy 1-2 years of platinum membership rights, and count the number of white years at the end of the year.
It's said that there is a CD for white picking, which can be challenged once every three years.
the easiest way to avoid relegation is to go to Yalexuan in the holy land, with an average price of 2-25 yuan/night. The staff are skilled in business, so they can leave after brushing their faces, and they can go home to check out by mobile phone or phone.
It should be noted that Marriott updates its membership level in February every year, so the best time to choose for nothing is after February, and January is the most loss.
There is also the difference between white picking and conventional relegation: white picking can only be checked in in cash, and it is booked in official website or Feizhu flagship store; Regular relegation can be in various postures, such as points, cash+points, cash, coupons, part of the negotiated price, etc., but it is also best to book at the official or flying pig flagship store. Some OTA or credit card rights do not accumulate SNP. (Of course, members of Plan K must know how to turn unqualified check-in into qualified check-in)
Add a little knowledge of a novice SNP. S is stay, the number of check-in times, staying in the same hotel for several days is counted as one time, and it can only be counted as two times every 24 hours; N is night, the number of check-in nights, and the number of qualified nights for Marriott relegation; P is the integral of point, effective room rate and consumption accumulation. Earning and using points
The general points can be obtained by accumulating consumption, redeeming credit cards, officially buying points, and now flying pig miles can also be redeemed for Marriott points at 5:1.
Credit card points
Credit cards issued in China: The centurion black and white gold of China Merchants Bank, Minsheng Bank and ICBC can be exchanged for Marriott points. It should be noted that Minsheng Bank and ICBC need special points to exchange. There is an American card abroad, an American Express Marriott co-branded card, which I can study and handle on my own if I have the conditions, and I have sent a lot of things.
official purchase points
before March 25th, 22, if you buy more than 2, points, you will be given a 5% bonus, and you can buy 1, points every year (the highest single point is 5, points). High-end business travel world WeChat official account backstage reply Marriott buy points to get the official link. (Those unofficial points are risky, so don't try.)
Points are generally used to change rooms. Different hotels in Marriott have different Cat ratings, which have been adjusted this year. See the sharing of knowledge planet in Plan K for details. At the same time, the points required in the off-peak season are also different. As for whether the points are cost-effective or cash-effective, refer to the current fair price of Marriott points, 55 yuan/ten thousand, and measure for yourself. Ka Niu's poor math can't help you. It is not recommended that you don't just need too many points, which is easy to depreciate.
Marriott Gift Package
DLB points can be used by exchanging them for the gift package, and there are 7 days free room coupons and airline miles, so don't be too cost-effective. High-end business travel world WeChat official account backstage reply Marriott gift package for related links. Other activities
Finally, some activities. First of all, the policy of accumulating 1N for the first meeting every year is cancelled, which makes it more difficult to avoid relegation. There is also the activity of sending a valid room for the birthday night. Ka Niu has never accumulated successfully anyway.
Stay two get one free
Newcomers are required to register as Marriott members through the link, and they are required to complete two cash stays within 12 days from the beginning of the next month, and give a free room coupon with a maximum of 25, points. The activity is valid until June 28, 22. High-end business travel world WeChat official account backstage reply Marriott live two get one free to get related links. It is strictly forbidden to overlap and merge, and all consequences will be at your own risk.
Stay for five nights and get one free
If you have enough points, you can change to the same hotel for five consecutive nights, free of the integral fee for one night and accumulate five valid check-in nights. The system automatically calculates when booking, without any other operation.
Q1 promotion
This year's promotion should be launched soon. According to the gossip, there is no upper limit for sending 2 points every night from the second stay. High-end business travel world WeChat official account backstage reply Wanhao Q1 to get related links, and I will update them after the official release. Don't worry.
Booking rebate
Booking is made through some rebate website interfaces. Because you jump directly to official website, you accumulate SNP and get a rebate. Ka Niu found the highest 8% rebate website for everyone, and the high-end business travel world WeChat official account backstage replied to the rebate website to get relevant links.
