What benefits are included with Marriott LUMINOUS?
The program provides a number of great benefits that enhance your stay. The biggest benefit is the breakfast (especially for longer stays). This also means it's particularly interesting for Gold ELITE members and lower. But even for Platinum ELITE members and up this would give you access to the main breakfast rather than the, sometimes, poor options especially in the US.
- US$100 hotel credit for incidentals once per stay - at select hotels (the hotel decides where the credit can be used)
- Complimentary daily breakfast for two people per bedroom (the hotel decides on the venue and if this is full or continental breakfast)
- Complimentary room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in
- Complimentary Wi-Fi daily
- Early check-in & late check-out, subject to availability
- Welcome amenity and note
As a Marriott Bonvoy member, you'll also receive all your benefits (if the benefits overlap, the better one will be awarded), points and status nights. it also works with any ongoing promotions (extra points, 2x status nights)
How can I book the Marriott LUMINOUS rate and how much does it cost?
