Marriott Bonvoy, part of the Marriott Bonvoy Moments program of hotel chain Marriott, recently launched Eat Around Town. This is a delicious new way for travelers to earn points when dining in the United States. Members can redeem Marriott Bonvoy points earned at over 11,000 participating restaurants towards free nights at more than 7,000 Marriott properties in 132 countries and territories.
Marriott Bonvoy members who have enrolled in the program will earn points when they dine at participating restaurants and while traveling. Members will receive eight points for every dollar spent at participating restaurants as part of an introductory offer. Thereafter, Marriott Bonvoy Elite members will earn six points per dollar spent, while regular members will earn four points per dollar spent.
In collaboration with Rewards Network, a fintech company for the restaurant industry, this reward program of Marriott can be leveraged at a wide selection of restaurants across the United States, ranging from local hot spots to tried-and-true favorites. Participating restaurants, searchable by location, can be viewed on the website or the program’s app.
“Our members are passionate about food and dining, which go hand in hand with travel,” says David Flueck, Senior Vice President, Global Loyalty at Marriott International. “We are excited to let our members earn points when they dine at over 11,000 restaurants with Eat Around Town by Marriott Bonvoy. Sharing an amazing meal with family, friends, or colleagues will now be more rewarding as members can earn a significant number of points to enjoy the benefits of Marriott Bonvoy, even when they are not staying with us.”
Ed Eger, CEO of Rewards Network, adds, “Marriott Bonvoy is an iconic travel program known throughout the world, and we are delighted to provide our network of restaurants with this incredible opportunity to serve such an active and loyal member base. Marriott Bonvoy boosts awareness for our restaurants, and we are excited to give their members a new way to earn points while dining.”

In addition to Rewards Network, Marriott also has relationships with some of the biggest names in sports, music, arenas, and chefs to offer members incredible and exclusive experiences through the company’s ever-expanding travel experiences marketplace.
