Automating Marriott’s 45,000 Points Per Year Social Media Program

Marriott is currently offering up to 45,000 points per yea by participating in their #RewardsPoints social media program. It’s possible to automate most of this by using IFTTT (we used this before for setting up mobile notifications for hot deals). Thanks to NateLundquist on /r/churning.

General Instructions

  1. Make sure your account is set to earn Marriott points
  2. First you’ll want to connect your Twitter account to Marriott. I’d recommend setting up a separate Twitter account so you don’t spam your followers. You’ll receive 250 Marriott points for doing that here. Then get another 125 points by following them on Twitter as well.
  3. Create an IFTTT account if you don’t have one already

50 Points Per Day

You can receive 50 points per day by sending out a tweet, we can automate this by doing the following:

  • Create a new applet. To do this click your name in the top right and then ‘New Applet’

  • Click “this” then “date and time” then “every day at..” and select any time
  • Click “that” then “twitter” then “post a tweet” add the following “#MembersGetIt #RewardsPoints #FindYourRoute #MRpoints.”

Retweet Marriott’s Posts

Marriott sometimes gives you additional points for retweeting their tweets (e.g this).

  • Use this Applet, click turn on
  • Under search for add: “from:MarriottRewards exclude:replies”
  • You could probably add “RT for” as well as that seems to be what they use for retweet point opportunities

Again big thanks to NateLundquist & WickedColdfront on /r/churning for putting this together.
