Eat Around Town Promotion — Details

Marriott’s current Eat Around Town promo runs through October 31, 2026. The limited-time promo grants diners 8x Marriott Bonvoy points, up from the usual 4x (general Bonvoy members) or 6x (elite members), on qualifying in-restaurant dining experiences and takeout at participating U.S. restaurants, of which there are more than 20,000.

You must be enrolled in the Eat Around Town program to be eligible. Also, you’ll need to have a card linked to your account and then pay with that card to earn the bonus points. There’s no limit to how many times you can earn at the elevated 8x rate, so long as your dining is completed by October 31.

Other Ongoing Promotions

Members who haven’t previously enrolled in Eat Around Town can earn 6,000 bonus points by dining out 3 times in the first 60 days from joining, as long as they enroll by January 5, 2027.

Separately, members can earn another 200 bonus points for reservations made through the Eat Around Town website, up to once per day and 8 times per month. These 200 bonus points can be stacked with all other bonus points earned through ongoing promotions.
