Step 1
Stay in a lower-end Marriott Bonvoy hotel twice. Although I classify them as “low-end”, these are decent properties and I never felt like I was in a budget hotel when I was there. Here are the best options if you live in Singapore:
Bali, Indonesia
Fairfield by Marriott Bali Kuta Sunset Road: $54
Fairfield by Marriott Bali Legian: $65
Four Points by Sheraton Bali, Ungasan: $66
Medan, Indonesia
Four Points by Sheraton Medan: $62
Selangor, Malaysia
Four Points by Sheraton Puchong: $77
Step 2
Next, you want to redeem the free night in a property that would have costed you the most or give you the best experience. Here are the best Category 4 hotels in my books with their average nightly rates next to them:
The Ritz-Carlton, Almaty: $403
Renaissance Paris La Defense Hotel: $395
W Doha: $330
Kameha Grand Zurich, Autograph Collection: $308
W Bangkok: $280
The Westin Brisbane: $239
Sheraton Samui Resort: $238
Sheraton Seoul Palace Gangnam Hotel: $231
Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse: $227
Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa: $224
The Westin Warsaw: $193
W Istanbul: $192
JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel: $170
Step 3
Find a partner to sign up with you. Here’s a potential plan:
-
Book your flights for a 4-nights vacation in Bali
-
Alternate your hotel bookings with each other (i.e. you book the 1st and 3rd night, your partner books the 2nd and 4th night) at Fairfield by Marriott Bali Kuta Sunset Road at $54 per night
-
Enjoy two free nights redemption at Renaissance Paris La Defense (worth $790) in a future vacation

Hi! Based on the example that you’ve given, what’s the reason to book on alternate dates?
Hi Irwan! You need 2 stays to receive the free night. This means that 2 consecutive nights would not count as it will be counted as 1 stay, even if you make 2 separate bookings.
