Marriott Bonvoy Pays 3000 Bonus Points Per Stay Through Sept 8

Marriott Bonvoy members booking a United States or Canada stay that finishes by September 8, 2026, can still add 3,000 bonus points per eligible stay with promotional code S2449. The official Marriott offer page for special offer OFF-214985 lists about 2,395 participating properties, a stay-based bonus, and matching book-by and stay-through dates of September 8, 2026, rather than an open-ended points drip.

This is a different product from Marriott’s live Europe, Middle East, and Africa S2449 ladder and from Homes and Villas discounts already covered on Deep Arrival. The traveler decision is narrow: if your hotel still appears on the U.S. and Canada offer inventory, apply S2449 before you pay and plan to complete the stay by September 8.

At a Glance
  • Offer: 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points per eligible stay.
  • Code: S2449 on a new member reservation tied to OFF-214985.
  • Stay by: September 8, 2026, inside the posted June 16 to September 8 window.
  • Where: About 2,395 participating hotels in the U.S. and Canada.
  • Limits: One regular room per stay per member; groups of 10 or more excluded.

What Marriott’s official U.S. and Canada terms say

Marriott’s live offer page titled Earn 3,000 Bonus Points Per Stay frames the promotion as a summer stay bonus for Bonvoy members. The need-to-know lines state the 3,000-point amount and the instruction to stay by September 8th.

Structured fields on the same offer object set both the booking window and the stay window from June 16, 2026, through September 8, 2026. The minimum stay value is one night, which matters because several other open Marriott promos require two nights before any bonus posts.

The offer type is listed as MEO Bonus Points, the parent type is Stay Based Offer, and the cluster code is S2449. Marriott currently reports 2,395 properties on the participating inventory for this stream.

Written terms require guests to book with promotional code S2449 to receive the bonus. The bonus applies to one regular room per stay per member on the listed dates, and a stay means consecutive nights at Marriott under a registered Bonvoy number.

Independent tracking from AwardWallet’s Marriott promotions roundup matches the 3,000-point U.S. and Canada stay offer, the S2449 code, and the September 8 stay-complete deadline. InsideFlyer has also summarized the same code and stay-through date for participating U.S. and Canadian hotels.

How to book without losing the bonus

Start on the official OFF-214985 offer page instead of a generic city search. Enter your dates and confirm the property remains inside the participating list. If the hotel drops off the inventory, do not assume the bonus will post just because a cash rate is available.

Apply promotional code S2449 when you book online. If you reserve by phone, tell the agent the same code and keep a written confirmation that the offer was attached.

Before you pay, open the rate details and confirm three things: your Bonvoy number is on the reservation, the stay finishes on or before September 8, 2026, and the room is a regular room rather than a blocked special-event inventory. Screenshot the confirmation page if the bonus language appears.

Advance reservations are required under the published terms. Same-day walk-up bookings are a weak fit even when the hotel logo matches a familiar Bonvoy brand.

Deep Arrival’s hotel loyalty programs guide is the useful evergreen next step when you are deciding whether a stay bonus is worth more than a cheaper non-participating rate or a competing program night.

What the exclusions actually cut off

Marriott states that only a limited number of rooms are available for the promotion. Inventory can thin out in busy cities without a separate public alert, so a property that qualified last week may not qualify for your dates.

The offer is not available during special events, and blackout dates may exist. Tax is additional. Special offers cannot be combined, which means you should not expect to stack this 3,000-point bonus on top of another Marriott promo for the same stay.

Groups of 10 or more rooms are excluded. Members who elected to earn airline miles instead of Bonvoy points are also ineligible. Those two rules cut off many corporate blocks and some cobranded earning elections.

Consecutive nights at the same hotel count as one stay. A four-night trip still pays one 3,000-point bonus under this offer, not 12,000 points for four separate nights.

If your trip is in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, this U.S. and Canada page does not control the bonus. Deep Arrival’s earlier story on the EMEA S2449 ladder remains the place to read that different brand-tiered product.

Decision Matrix
If you… What to do
Have a U.S. or Canada stay ending by Sept 8 Open OFF-214985, confirm the hotel, and book with code S2449.
Need only one night This stream still fits because the official minimum stay is one night.
Are comparing an EMEA city trip Ignore this page and use the separate EMEA S2449 offer terms instead.
Already hold another Marriott promo on the same stay Do not assume stacking; Marriott says special offers cannot be combined.
Cannot finish the stay by September 8 Skip S2449 here and reprice the hotel on cash or points alone.
Planning Impact
  • Stay-through clock: Complete eligible nights by September 8, 2026.
  • Code discipline: Enter S2449 on the new reservation before payment.
  • Inventory check: Reconfirm the hotel still appears on the OFF-214985 list.
  • One-room rule: Expect one bonus per member per stay, not per night.
  • Miles election: Switch back to points earning if you want this bonus.

When the 3,000 points are worth the friction

The cleanest fit is a traveler who already needs a U.S. or Canada hotel night before September 8 and can book a participating property without paying a large rate premium. In that case, the promo is mostly code and inventory discipline.

It is weaker when the only open rate is far above nearby non-participating hotels. Three thousand Bonvoy points are useful, but they do not automatically beat a cheaper cash room once taxes and parking are included.

It is also weaker for members who already elected miles earning on their Bonvoy profile. The terms exclude that election, so the booking work is wasted unless you change the earning choice first.

Business travelers should watch the group rule. A ten-room block for a team offsite will not earn this bonus even if every guest has a Bonvoy number and the hotel is otherwise participating.

For destination planning around a short city stay, Deep Arrival’s Boston where-to-stay guide is one example of a lodging decision page that sits next to a points-earning hotel choice when the trip city is already locked.

How this sits next to other open Marriott promos

Deep Arrival already covers the EMEA stay ladder that also uses code S2449 and Homes and Villas percentage-off pricing as separate streams.

This story exists because OFF-214985 is a flat 3,000-point U.S. and Canada stay bonus with about 2,395 listed properties and a September 8 stay-complete deadline. That is a different traveler decision from a brand-tiered overseas ladder or a villa discount.

When two Marriott offers share the same promo code, geography is the first filter. A Toronto weekend stay belongs here. A Paris two-night stay belongs to the EMEA stream, not this page.

Keep award redemptions and cash-plus-points nights out of the bonus assumption unless the live rate rules on your booking page explicitly say the stay still qualifies. The published terms focus on new reservations booked with S2449 at participating hotels.

Re-open the official offer page after any date change. Marriott can alter inventory, and the live property count can move even when the headline stay-through date stays the same.

Frequently Asked

When does the Marriott Bonvoy 3,000-point U.S. and Canada stay offer end?

Official fields set the booking and stay windows through September 8, 2026. The need-to-know line also says stay by September 8th, so plan to finish eligible nights on or before that date.

What promo code do I need for this Marriott bonus?

Use promotional code S2449 on a new Marriott Bonvoy member reservation tied to offer OFF-214985, and confirm the hotel still appears on the participating inventory.

Does a multi-night stay pay more than 3,000 bonus points?

No. Consecutive nights count as one stay, and the terms limit the bonus to one regular room per stay per member, so a longer stay still pays one 3,000-point bonus under this offer.

Can I combine this with another Marriott promotion?

Marriott’s terms say special offers cannot be combined. Compare separate streams such as the EMEA S2449 ladder or Homes and Villas discounts on their own pages instead of stacking assumptions.
