Hi, I'm planning a wedding at a Renaissance property and am considering getting the Marriott Rewards credit card to pay for the wedding due to the 5 points / $ benefit. Does anyone have experience doing this? I'd like to confirm that my understanding is correct, mainly:
- We'll receive the standard Marriott Rewards points from Marriott per our wedding agreement
- In addition to the typical Marriott rewards points received, we'll receive 5 points per dollar spent in rental and catering expenses on our card at the Renaissance
Do I have this correct? In general, when staying at a Marriott Property do you get both your Marriott Rewards points for the stay as well as the 5 points per dollar through the card? Also, my fiance is likely the one who will sign up for the card. Does she need a Marriott Rewards account before signing up or will one be created for her when she gets the card. Many thanks in advance!
Yes you get points for the room in addition to points from charging it to the card. She should create the MR account before applying for the card.
