Marriott has been tinkering with offer members points for completing social media actions since 2014 and they have just unveiled their new program called #RewardsPoints (click here for direct link to new program).
How To Earn Points
Connecting Profiles
You’ll earn 250 points by profile you connect:
Follow Marriott
You’ll get 150 points for each Marriott profile you follow:
Campaigns
Marriott will then launch 3-4 new campaigns each month to let users earn up to the 45,000 point maximum annually. The first campaign is now out:
- Earn 50 points for letting them know where you watched the eclipse.
- Earn 50 points for letting me know what dish you’d like to learn to cook.
Our Verdict
How useful this program is really depends on what the campaigns are like, if we take the maximum of 45,000 points and assume 4 campaigns per month that means each campaign will be worth 930 points (I imagine there will actually be more like 45 campaigns across the year for a total of 1,000 points each but let’s see). If the campaigns are like follow one of the properties then it seems like great value, if they are tweet out with specific tweets for 20 points each then it’s probably a waste of time.
Once we start seeing the campaigns we will see how much we can automate as well, if it requires stuff like tweeting out for example then we could create a new Twitter account and then you could use If This Then That to automatically retweet anything we post. Even if you don’t value Marriott points remember that they transfer to SPG at a 3:1 ratio meaning you could earn a maximum of 15,000 SPG points through this promotion. I’ll add this to our list of free miles & points opportunities.
How long does the reward points take to post on your account?
I linked mine to twitter, instagram and facebook 30 minutes ago but the reward points haven’t been posted on my Marriott account.
Nevermind, points posted after 1 hr.
Does this work for protected tweets?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but Marriott won’t see your protected tweets, even if you tweet them directly (eg, @MarriottRewards), UNLESS @MarriottRewards follows you. I doubt they will follow you.
is this still alive? I see Marriott still replying when someone retweets, bot not on mine 🙁
“Ritz-Carlton Rewards® members are not eligible for this promotion.” Does anyone know how to change a Ritz-Carlton Rewards account to a Marriott Rewards account? See https://s3.amazonaws.com/chirpify/001adminuploads/tGFkZlCgT1GLuW4SsQfg_RewardsPoints_Terms_v1.pdf.
@ William, I’d rather just transfer in 1,000 Chase UR. Save myself the aggravation of having to waste my time. What’s the value of 50 MR points? 35 cents?
That’s up to you, I’m sure I post lots of deals not everybody finds useful. I know some people do find this one useful so I post it. Not every deal is going to be a winner for everybody.
I agree that at the end of the day, every decision is up to each individual person. But I’m arguing the merits of it and mostly discussing “the value of one’s time.” The fact that so many jump at this deal leads me to believe that people aren’t considering the value of their time which is rather sad.
Hard to believe people are willing to do these sheep tasks for 50 points each. Don’t you guys have any self respect?
Useful if you’re close to a redemption threshold. Also these have been working multiple times for people.
does anyone have an example of successful tweets, so we can copy the template
Anyone know what needs to be included? i tweeted both, someone liked it instantly, but no points in Marriott account.
i did get 1000 from registered it all.
50 points 8-21-17 only

I always do twiter stuff wrong…
do I need to tweet with #GreatAmericanEclipse and #SolarEclipse2017 and #RewardsPoints for 50 Rewards points?
or retweet?
or something else?
I am 99 points of a reward so this would really help!
How long is it taking to get the 50 points?
Earn 1000 points by connecting accounts

i did this & definitely connected my twitter account but never seem to get the twitter points, tho I get the others )facebook, instagram)
Same thing for me. I can’t get this to work on twitter
i got the first one to work, but havent been able to get this one to reply with points.
Cannot get this second promo to work either :/
Still working. Got another 50 points. 300 points total
lol
Only 250 really. Got the email and reply tweet but no credit.
Maybe they fixed it
Just tried it and got 50.
Maybe it’s reset since it Sunday?
Never mind. It says that was from 8/18/2017. So, there’s a delay in crediting.
Got the 50 points 5x! Yaay.
