So, what can you earn through the new partnership? Members earn Double Stars every time they make a purchase at participating Starbucks locations during the duration of their stay at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels.

 

Additionally, throughout the year, there will be designated Marriott Bonvoy Weeks, the first running through July 14. During Marriott Bonvoy Weeks, linked members earn 100 Marriott Bonvoy points when they make three qualifying purchases at participating Starbucks locations.

 

To celebrate the new collaboration, Starbucks Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy members with linked accounts can enter a sweepstakes offering a range of prizes, including a grand prize trip to visit each of the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in Seattle, Milan and Tokyo, with a Marriott Bonvoy hotel stay and round-trip airfare included.
