Through Tuesday, June 21, 2016, you can earn a quick 500 free Marriott Rewards points simply by following Marriott Rewards on Instagram, where you can now discover and book your favorite hotel or resort property.

Earn a Quick 500 Free Marriott Rewards Points

After you follow Marriott on Instagram, enter the e-mail address associated with your Marriott Rewards frequent guest loyalty program account — this is the e-mail address which will be used for the delivery of the e-mail message to be sent to you — in the space to the left of the green Submit button, as seen in the image at the top of this article.

You cannot miss the green Submit button, as it is the only green item there.

Terms and Conditions

Earning Marriott Rewards points through social media programs — such as Instagram — does not extend the expiration of your points. To retain your Marriott Rewards points and keep your account active, you must do one of the following at least once every two years:

• Make a paid — or redemption — stay at any of the greater than 4,000 participating hotel and resort properties worldwide
• Redeem Marriott Rewards points
• Purchase Marriott Rewards points
• Use your Marriott Rewards Credit Card for purchases every 24 months
• Earn points with one of the program partners of Marriott Rewards
• Hold a qualifying meeting or event — including earning points through the Rewarding Events Program

Here are some of the other few terms and conditions of this promotion which have not already been highlighted:

• This promotion is open to Marriott Rewards members who click and follow Marriott Rewards on Instagram.
• In the e-mail message above, click the “follow” button to redirect to the Marriott Rewards Instagram account.
• You can only earn the bonus one time for each e-mail address entered.
• Miles cannot be earned instead of points for this promotion.

Summary

Unless you do not mind being a member of Instagram, there is no reason why you should not participate in this promotion — but you must do so before this coming Tuesday.

You will receive the 500 bonus Marriott Rewards frequent guest loyalty program points you earned within four weeks. It may not be all that much; but it is certainly better than nothing.
