Marriott’s latest MegaBonus promotion is live, plus free wifi!

Marriott has announced their latest promotion for February 1, 2015-April 30, 2015.  Marriott MegabonusMarriott has been using targeted bonuses lately which means my bonus may not be the same as yours.  Mine was pretty lackluster, especially compared to the awesome IHG Promotion during the same time period.

But as they say, a bonus is a bonus, so go ahead and sign up now.  Maybe after you meet the requirements of the IHG promotion then you can start on this promotion.  Also maybe try this bonus if there isn’t a suitable IHG property wherever you are headed.

Free Wifi for Marriott Rewards Members

I am actually excited about this more than the megabonus promotion!Marriott Free WifiStarting January 11, all Marriott Rewards will be eligible for free wifi if they have booked on Marriott.com, through their mobile app, via 1-800 Marriott or through a Marriott hotel.  This one has been a long time coming and I’m happy to see most hotel chains matching this. If you have gold or platinum status then you can get enhanced faster internet for free. So even if you aren’t worried about status you should sign up for a rewards account just for the free wifi!
