Starbucks connects rewards program with Marriott
Starbucks Rewards members who also hold an account with the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program can receive some unique combined benefits.
Participants in the Starbucks Coffee Company Starbucks Rewards loyalty offering who link their account with their Marriott Bonvoy loyalty account from the Marriott International hotel chain can earn more “Stars” (rewards points) toward free beverages, food and other products at Starbucks.
In addition, they will receive more Marriott Bonvoy points that can be redeemed at the more than 30 brands and 10,000 global destinations covered under the loyalty program, as well as for “Marriott Bonvoy Moments” experiences.
Eligible members enrolled in both programs can link their accounts by visiting Starbucks.com/MarriottBonvoy. Once linked, Starbucks Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy members can begin to earn these new benefits from both programs:
- Marriott Bonvoy and Starbucks Rewards members can earn Double Stars on qualifying transactions at participating Starbucks locations through the duration of their eligible stay at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy.
- Throughout the year, during any designated Marriott Bonvoy Week, Starbucks Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy members will earn 100 Marriott Bonvoy points when they make three qualifying transactions at participating Starbucks locations. The first Marriott Bonvoy Week runs July 8-14, 2024.
Previous partnerships that link Starbucks Rewards memberships with other loyalty programs for expanded perks and benefits include collaborations with Bank of America and Delta Air Lines.
"Marriott Bonvoy's commitment to enriching moments for their customers aligns with Starbucks customer promise to uplift the everyday, making them the perfect loyalty partner," said Kyndra Russell, senior VP, North America chief marketing officer, Starbucks. "We're continuing to develop our Starbucks Rewards program, and through this new collaboration, we are excited to offer members even more value and enhanced benefits through travel experiences."
"I love my regular morning cup of Starbucks coffee, and find I enjoy it even more when traveling,” said David Flueck, global head of loyalty, cards & enterprise partnerships, Marriott International. “So, Marriott Bonvoy's collaboration with Starbucks makes perfect sense. We will truly satisfy our members' passions for coffee and travel with the opportunity to earn more points and Stars while traveling and at home, and later this year by bringing those passions together when we introduce exclusive coffee- and travel-themed experiences on Marriott Bonvoy Moments."
