In 2000, Starbucks and Marriott signed a long-term licensing agreement to open Starbucks locations in select hotels across the U.S. and Canada. Now, the two brands are launching a new partnership that will let travelers earn more Starbucks Stars and Marriott Bonvoy points.
To benefit from this partnership, you should enroll in Marriott Bonvoy and a U.S. Starbucks Rewards account. Then, link your accounts on the Starbucks website to start earning rewards through this partnership.
You'll earn double Stars at Starbucks from midnight on the day you check in through 11:59 p.m. on the day you check out for eligible Marriott Bonvoy stays. Eligible stays include those booked at eligible rates — including redeeming Marriott points or free night awards — if you link your accounts at least 48 hours before your stay.
Double Stars will appear in your linked Starbucks Rewards account within two business days of your qualifying Starbucks transaction. However, you can only earn up to 1,000 Stars under the Double Stars offer during each June 18 to June 17 program year.

Qualifying transactions are "any purchase at a Participating Starbucks Store by a Linked Account Member of food, beverage(s), and/or merchandise, excluding purchases of alcoholic beverages, Starbucks Card eGifts and physical Starbucks gift cards," according to the terms and conditions on Starbucks' website.
To qualify, your purchase must be at least $2, and you must pay:
Not all Starbucks locations participate. Participating Starbucks stores are defined as locations in the U.S. — including the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories — where you can earn Stars. The 100 points will appear in your Marriott Bonvoy account within two business days of the end of Marriott Bonvoy Week if you complete at least three qualifying Starbucks transactions.
