Marriott Bonvoy Introduces 'Points for Points' Program

As NCAA March Madness approaches, excitement fills the air for basketball enthusiasts across the nation. This year, Marriott Bonvoy, celebrated for its commitment to sports and hospitality, has launched an exciting initiative called 'Points for Points.' This innovative program invites fans to engage with their love for basketball and rewards their passion with Marriott Bonvoy points. The campaign celebrates Marriott's ninth year as the official hotel partner of the NCAA, creating a unique way for fans to feel connected to the exhilarating experience of March Madness.

Starting from March 10, 2025, the initiative is open to all eligible Marriott Bonvoy members who can enter at joinmarriottbonvoy.com/pointsforpoints. Each entry allows fans a chance to win a quantity of points equivalent to the total number of points scored during the men's and women's NCAA Division I basketball tournaments. A total of 134 winners will be randomly selected at the end of the championships, making the program not only an exciting adventure for fans but also a great opportunity to redeem Marriott points for unforgettable travel experiences.

Mandy Gill, Managing Vice President of Brand and Marketing for U.S. and Canada, expressed enthusiasm about the new program. She states, "Points for Points is a powerful extension of our 'Game Day Rituals' campaign, which celebrates how travel enhances the journeys of athletes and fans alike." The 'Game Day Rituals' campaign, launched in 2024, emphasizes the significance of creating memorable experiences while traveling for sports, showcasing various NCAA athletes, coaches, and fans at different Marriott properties.

In addition to the Points for Points contest, Marriott Bonvoy members have the chance to bid on two exclusive VIP packages through Marriott Bonvoy Moments. These packages grant access to the Men's and Women's Final Fours, where fans can bask in exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences, premium seating, and luxurious four-night accommodations. Participating members can use their points earned from stays and various activities to secure these unique experiences, reinforcing the bond between sports and travel.

Two VIP experiences are currently available: the Men’s Final Four VIP Experience and the Women’s Final Four VIP Experience. For those attending the Men’s Final Four, the package includes access to exclusive events, lower bowl tickets, and a four-night stay at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, located on the scenic River Walk. However, for the Women’s Final Four, attendees will enjoy courtside seats, elite events, and accommodations at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, ensuring an unforgettable championship experience.

As fans gear up for the NCAA championships, they can also partake in the festivities surrounding the Final Fours. Organized activities include the Men's Final Four Tip-Off Tailgate and the Women's Final Four Party on the Plaza, where fans can enjoy engaging basketball-themed events, food, and entertainment, creating an overall festive atmosphere.

This season's excitement will surely be amplified by Marriott Bonvoy’s dedication to enhancing the basketball experience. By combining hospitality with die-hard fan passion, the Points for Points initiative and the broader Game Day Rituals campaign emphasize Marriott's role in creating memorable moments that resonate with sports lovers.
