What happened
LoyaltyLobby's August 2026 roundup finds Marriott offering a 50% or higher bonus on point purchases through September 9, 2026, under a raised cap, with no global stay promotion since May.
Some Your World Rewards members can pick up 5,000 extra points for a stay from July 15 through September 30, 2026. Marriott is running a dual-currency stay-and-fly deal with United across the same dates. Amex US cardholders can get $350 cash back on a Homes & Villas booking of $1,000 or more, valid July 30 through September 30, 2026. Chase has a 10% cash-back offer on US Marriott stays ending August 31 or September 1, 2026, per LoyaltyLobby.
Each stay in Europe and the Middle East, plus Africa, can earn 1,000 to 10,000 bonus points through September 7, 2026. Weekend BreakAway rates still go as high as 30% off. Free-night certificates accept a top-up of up to 25,000 points. Check Marriott plus Amex or Chase for the points sale and any targeted stay offer before the September cutoffs rather than waiting for a global promo that has not returned since May.
