Peggy Roe travel tips

Hey! I don't know about you but ... I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift. I'm also obsessed with Marriott Bonvoy, which helped me use points to snag a great hotel in Atlanta when I visited to see "The Eras Tour." (I realized it was cheaper to go to Atlanta using points and miles than to buy resale tickets for my local show in New York City.)

MGM Resorts International and Marriott International are coming together to bring travelers an all-new level of access to exclusive experiences and even better benefits. 

Last July, Marriott International and MGM Resorts announced a licensing tie-up where members of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program could earn and redeem points for activity at MGM Resorts’ properties. On Wednesday, travelers became able to take advantage of this partnership at 16 MGM Resort locations.

From an unforgettable trip to see three shows in three countries, to concert packages for shows in select cities across Europe and North America, Marriott Bonvoy unlocks access to Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour.

Get your friendship bracelets ready, because Marriott Bonvoy wants to send you to not one, not two, but three separate Taylor Swift concerts around the world. 

Marriott said Monday that the 200 millionth person had joined its loyalty program as the company aims to retain its title as having the world’s largest hotel rewards program.

Hyatt sees signs that more people in big cities are returning to offices, which could eventually translate to more business transient travel at the hotel giant.

The complexity of point loyalty programs has pushed several travel companies to rethink their strategy, and the most recent to flip the script is Marriott Bonvoy.
