BETHESDA, Md. - Marriott Bonvoy today announced it has once again been named Best Hotel Loyalty Program by The Points Guy (TPG), the trusted media platform focused on maximizing travel experiences while minimizing spending. The Points Guy Awards honor the best in travel, credit cards, and loyalty, from top-tier reward credit cards and exclusive lounges to premier loyalty programs, airlines, hotels, and cruise lines. Marriott Bonvoy's growing portfolio is also recognized this year with W Punta Cana, Adult All-Inclusive winning Best New All-Inclusive Points Hotel. Marriott Bonvoy's unique offerings and hotels have been consistently recognized by The Points Guy Awards since their debut in 2018. As the world's leading travel platform, Marriott Bonvoy continues to evolve, offering richer rewards and more meaningful ways to explore. In 2025, the program broadened its reach with the additions of citizenM and the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy, expanding the portfolio with stays designed for every style of travel. Members unlocked once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences through Marriott Bonvoy Moments from exclusive Michelin‑starred culinary journeys to groundbreaking musical world tours. New features in the Marriott Bonvoy mobile app helped members tailor each stay to their preferences, including a lounge-filter search and enhanced personalization tools. Members also discovered expanded ways to earn and redeem points, from Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques purchases to curated Tours & Activities. With more innovation on the horizon in 2026 and beyond, Marriott Bonvoy will continue turning travel into lasting memories. Established in 2018, The Points Guy Awards has become the definitive annual benchmark for recognizing excellence in airlines, travel products, credit cards, and loyalty programs. Winners were selected through a rigorous process led by TPG's editorial team of travel and loyalty experts, who were divided into panels based on their areas of authority. They then spent months evaluating nominees based on firsthand experience, industry expertise, and how well each program delivers real value to travelers. Select categories were further informed by in-house data analysis, ensuring the awards reflect both lived experience and measurable performance.
