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.

Here’s How It Works:

• Refer up to 5 new members each calendar year.
• Earn 2,000 Marriott Rewards bonus points for each stay your referrals make beginning with their first paid stay, up to 5 stays per referral. That’s 50,000 bonus points for you.
• Your friends will also earn 2,000 Marriott Rewards bonus points beginning with their first paid stay, up to 5 stays. That’s 10,000 bonus points for them, in addition to the base points they’ll earn.
• Stays at any participating hotels qualify, and must be made within 365 days of enrollment.

Terms and Conditions:  Marriott Bonvoy members can earn up to 50,000 bonus points each calendar year by referring friends & colleagues into the Reward a Friend program.

• Sponsor a new member through the Reward a Friend program.
• Each time the new member makes a stay, the sponsoring member receives 2,000 bonus points, up to 5 stays.
