Marriott and Starbucks have teamed up in order to win the Uninspiring Partnership of the Year award. Despite that, it’s worth linking your accounts seeing as you can set and forget it and hopefully earn a few extra Stars or points in the future.
The Deal
- Link your Marriott Bonvoy and Starbucks accounts to earn the following:
- Double Stars on Starbucks purchases while staying at Marriott properties
- Earn 100 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when making three Starbucks purchases during Marriott Bonvoy Weeks.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- The first Marriott Bonvoy week will run July 8-14, 2024.
Quick Thoughts
We received an almost 1,500 word press release to celebrate this partnership. That’s a latte words for a partnership that’s not very grande. I wanted to filter out the non-important stuff as sharing all that would be grounds for dismissal.
So be sure to link your accounts, but don’t count on earning much. Double Stars are only received when you’re actually staying at Marriott properties and 100 points (worth less than $1) are only earned when buying Starbucks three times during occasional weeks during the year.
Starbucks recently updated their partnership with Delta which made that even less rewarding than before. We therefore have on the calendar for November 2099 a Frequent Miler challenge where we have to try and put together a trip using only the SkyMiles and Marriott Bonvoy points earned from their Starbucks partnerships, as it’ll take ~75 years to have any chance of earning a meaningful enough number of miles and points to do that.
