The current window closes on December 31, 2026 — 91 days from today.
How not to lose it
- This resets with the calendar year. December is when most people remember, so book early if availability is limited.
- Don’t wait for the last day. Statement credits can take days to post, and a purchase that settles after the window closes may not count.
- Pay with the Marriott Bonvoy Business. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
