Marriott Bonvoy offers a referral program for current members to refer family/friends to the program, and the rewards can be quite lucrative. All you have to do is head over to their site and enter the names and emails of friends you wish to refer and they’ll receive an email from Marriott where they can sign up and create an account.

You can invite up to 5 friends to join Marriott Bonvoy each year. In turn, you’ll each earn 2,000 bonus points per stay for their first 5 stays. That’s a maximum earning potential of 50,000 bonus points for you, and 10,000 bonus points for each of your friends.

Up to 50,000 bonus points for you: Earn 2,000 bonus points for each stay your referrals make, up to five stays per referral. That’s up 50,000 bonus points for you.

Up to 10,000 bonus points for your friends: And your friends will earn 2,000 bonus points after their first five stays. That’s up to 10,000 bonus points total for them.
