Before Starwood Preferred Guest was acquired by Marriott they had a partnership with Emirates. That partnership has now returned and is offering the following:
- Marriott elite members will earn 3 Marriott points per $1 spent on all Emirates purchases
- Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite will receive in-airport benefits, including priority check-in and priority boarding
- Emirates elites will earn 1 Emirate mile per $1 spent on all Marriott purchases
- Emirates Skywards Silver, Gold and Platinum will receive additional benefits at Marriott hotels, including:Â including 4 p.m. Late Checkout,2 access to Elite check-in3 and complimentary in-room Wi-Fi.
Hat tip to Miles Talk
Is there any downside to this? I’ve never flown Emiratis but why would you say no to free miles. Do I get less marriott points because this somehow?
Now if they could just bring back the SPG era crossover rewards program.
Marriott? No thank you.
Still waiting for Marriott to bring back customer service and dropping arrogance as a partner.
Any perceived arrogance is just noise around the edges. Thanks, Arne!
Sorry, I like hotels without noise more.
