Marriott Instant Redemption Awards *Giveaway* Published on Monday, June 28, 2010 by

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Shanaka.  Congrats!

Two Marriott giveaways in one week, you ask?  Why absolutely! Summer is here and what better way to enjoy it than by taking a little vacation (or staycation).  My husband travels for work and very often, his company will put him up in a Marriott hotel.  As a Marriott Rewards Member, he earns points every time he stays at a Marriott hotel including  Marriott Hotels & Resorts, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Renaissance Hotels, Courtyard, Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn & Suites, TownePlace Suites, SpringHill Suites, and Marriott Vacation Club.  Points can be used towards hotel stays, frequent flyer miles, cruises, car rentals, brand-name merchandise and more.

Marriott recently launched their Instant Redemption Awards which allow members the option of using their points any time during their stay for spa treatments, room service, or to cover part of their hotel stay.  While I personally like to save up for something big, it’s nice to have the flexibility to use points upon check-in and throughout the hotel stay.

So what can 20-30,000 points get you?  I did a little bit of searching and here is what I found:

Marriott Dinner for Two Award Certificate 20,000

3 day weekend rental of a full size car 25,000

Up to 5,000 frequent flyer miles or 4 mileage credits 20,000

Blue Experience Voucher – Example experiences include – Indoor Skydiving, Dump Truck Racing, Vineyard Tour, London Rock ‘n’ Roll Legends Tour for Two or Makeover and Photoshoot. 25,000

50 Gift Certificate for The Luggage Club 22,000

You can join Marriott Rewards for free by visiting their website.
Win It! One of you will win a 25,000 Marriott Points Rewards.  Simply leave me a comment with what you’d like to spend it on (you can use the site as your guide).  Comments will close on July 12, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn. Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.

Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.

    I would really love to have extra points to give my three sons a well deserved vacation… Going into my 5th year of being a single parent it has been has been tight… So i am limited to what i can do… It has been hard!!… Money is very tight after my home robbery…It left me with much less and back injuries.

    So i can only provide the small things.. I do have all the love in the world for my sons. They ask for very little… So if i were to enjoy extra points..I only have 2,000 now… Oh boy would i treat the boys in San Diego for a few day stays over wonderful family picnics and some fishing they would love not to mention a Padre Games would be tops…So if i win this would be something… Or if any one just can’t use them, then i would so enjoy having them and be soo honored to receive some……I love Marriott…..
    karentellier@yahoo.com…Marriott is family to me and family we are….God Bless and good luck to everyone…..Times are hard and family is what keeps it together….It’s the small thing in life that count…. ;-)

    I am tempted byseveral of the choices that Marriot offers. I came very close to adding the Dinner for Two to compliment the Nights Stay that I would like to plan. Instead…if I had the chance, I would throw in a free night and use it directly following an already booked night as a surprise for my Husband. Just when my Hubs would be packing up to leave I would tell him to relax and that we were being treated to another night! It would kinda be like getting ready to get up to go to work and then being granted a day off even before you got out of bed! We would love this…weve been married almost 10 years and never took a Honeymoon, I would love to use this to help me plan one for our 10th Anniversary!

    I would use the rewards points to take my significant other on a surprise birthday trip!
    His birthday is fast approaching and I’ve been looking at a few “Car Guy” destinations.

    The Marriott rewards points would help in a big way on his special day!
