Ever wished you could waltz into a beachfront Ritz‑Carlton or a kid‑friendly Residence Inn and hand over points instead of a credit card? In this episode I pull back the curtain on Marriott Bonvoy—the world’s largest hotel loyalty program—and explain why it’s one of my go‑to platform for turning everyday spending into unforgettable stays.

Tune in to learn:

1. Why Bigger Really Is Better – With 30+ distinct brands and 8,500‑plus properties worldwide, Marriott’s footprint means there’s almost always a Bonvoy hotel where you want to go—whether that’s an overwater villa in the Maldives or a quick road‑trip stop with the kids.
2. Easy Ways to Earn Free Night Certificates- So many ways to earn them for amazing stays!
3. Point Power Plays – My favorite sweet‑spot redemptions, like 50K‑point free‑night certificates at resorts that normally cost $600+.
4. Stacking & Fast‑Tracking – How to combine welcome bonuses, transfer partners, and promos to rack up a year’s worth of free nights faster than you think.

Whether you’re dreaming of a family Disney trip, a luxe couples’ getaway, or a business‑trip upgrade, this episode will show you how Marriott Bonvoy can get you there—often for pennies on the dollar.

Grab your headphones, your bucket list, and maybe a piña colada… it’s time to Bonvoyage!
