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
- Make sure your account is set to earn Marriott points
- 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.
- 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.
