Offer Details
Through December 31, newly enrolled Marriott Rewards members who choose to earn airline miles will receive a 1,000-mile bonus in one of the following participating airline programs:
- Etihad Guest
- Qatar Privilege Club
- Avianca-TACA LifeMiles
- Aeromexico ClubPremier
- British Airways Executive Club
- Lufthansa Miles & More
- Aeroplan
Deal or No Deal
Marriott has more than 40 airline partners, including all the U.S. carriers worth mentioning. Limiting the bonus miles to the above-listed seven airline programs strips this promotion of much of its potential value to U.S.-based travelers.
