Marriott Bonvoy Affiliate Program

Marriott Bonvoy is the largest hotel loyalty program in the world, covering more than 30 brands from Ritz Carlton and St. Regis to Courtyard and Moxy across thousands of properties. Points and luxury travel content revolves around it, and booking direct is often the best choice for members, which gives affiliates a reason to send readers to Marriott rather than a third party site.

The affiliate program runs on CJ Affiliate, with a version on FlexOffers, and pays 4 to 6 percent on completed hotel stays and 3 percent on vacation packages, with a 7 day cookie. Applications are reviewed, and Marriott supplies deep links to hotels and brands, banners and seasonal promotions, along with a detailed FAQ. Payouts follow CJ's monthly schedule, and commissions are confirmed after the stay. Bookings made with points do not pay.

Luxury properties push the average booking well above a budget hotel, so a percentage of a Ritz Carlton stay is a real commission despite the short cookie.

Marriott converts from best Marriott hotels in a city guides, points and loyalty program explainers, luxury hotel reviews, business travel content and honeymoon and resort roundups. Readers who already hold Bonvoy status are the most reliable converters.
