In this week's frequent traveler podcast we return to hotel loyalty programs and hotel elite status - this week focusing on the Marriott Rewards program.  Most of our panelists do not recommend the Marriott program, unless you are staying there due to contractual obligations. While it falls towards the bottom of our list of programs to obtain status in - there are still some situations where it makes sense. Listen in to hear more about the Marriott Rewards program and other topics including:

  • Double EQMs and Triple RDMs from RDU, STL, PIT, and BNA
  • Aegean joining Star Alliance
  • Your Hometown, Your Airline segment continues with recommendations for Australian flyers
  • Marriot Rewards program including their Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum Premier status levels
  • and more...

If you have any Marriott Rewards tips, tricks, or clarification please let us know. We'd also love to hear from some current Australian flyers on their recommendation where to credit miles. Please leave your comments below.
