## Summary

Marriott Bonvoy is paying 8 points per dollar at 20,000+ U.S. restaurants through October 31, 2026 for Eat Around Town members who pay with a linked card. The rate started October 1 and covers every enrolled member.

Join Eat Around Town and link a debit or credit card before paying. The restaurant bill earns; third party delivery sites do not. Some venues limit earning to certain weekdays or a monthly spend cap. Dining points do not count toward elite qualification and can take six to eight weeks to post. On November 1, 2026 the rate returns to 4 points per dollar, or 6 for Silver elites and above. New members can add up to 6,000 bonus points in their first 60 days. The first $30 visit pays 1,000 extra, the second 2,000. Another 3,000 follows the next $30 visit if each meal gets an online review inside 30 days and Eat Around Town emails stay on.

Link a card in Eat Around Town and pay at restaurants by October 31, 2026 for 8 points per dollar, with new members adding 6,000 points after three reviewed $30 visits in 60 days.
