Marriott International has launched its first ever joint meetings offer in Asia Pacific for members across its three loyalty programmes: Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG). The offer rewards members for booking meetings or events at any of the portfolio’s participating hotels and resorts across Asia Pacific.
“We want to invite our members to celebrate with us as we unlock a new world of destinations and opportunities with our new combined portfolio,” said Peggy Fang Roe, chief sales & marketing officer, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “With this offer, we bring more options and consistent benefits to all members across three loyalty programmes. Members can now enjoy over 500 hotels, across 19 brands and 20 countries across Asia Pacific. This is just the first step to making it easier for our members to do business with us and we are excited about offering even more benefits to come.”
Until December 31, 2016, members can book a meeting or event at a promotion participating Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards, or SPG hotel or resort in Asia Pacific for arrivals by December 31, 2017, and get benefits.

The loyalty points can either be redeemed with Marriott Rewards or transferred to one of the other two programmes should the customer wish to redeem points for experiences, stays or benefits from one of the three programmes. While Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and SPG work together to build the world’s best loyalty programme, customers can easily link accounts or join to receive:
