eGift Cards are all in U.S. dollars and can be purchased all over the world, providing gifts.marriott.com can validate the buyer’s banking information
The following Marriott Hotel Brands DO NOT accept Marriott GiftCards: Bulgari, Design Hotels, Homes & Villas by Marriott International, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club.
New Marriott Rewards members can earn 2,000 Marriott Rewards bonus points beginning with their first paid stay, up to 5 stays when signing up through a referral.
I like that they don't expire! What are the odds of a behemoth like Marriott going under?
Watch out for the exchange rate on these, if you’re using them outside the USA. The gift cards are converted from USD to the local currency, often not a great exchange rate.
It's unlikely that Marriott will go under - they're too big to fail. Having said that, it's happened before - if a 2nd wave of Corona happens then you never know.
Watch out though, these cards cannot be used on prepaid rates. Postpaid rates are usually ~20% more expensive, which negates any savings. Marriott will be selling points at 60% off next week, which IMO could be a better deal.
not necessarily. depends on the location/country of the hotel.
I wonder if these can be used to pay for existing bookings?
