(Closed) Marriott Rewards Insiders Giveaway

Traveling these days can become quite the expensive venture – food, gas, entertainment, hotels, the cost adds up quickly. One of the best tips I can offer traveling families is to pick a hotel chain you enjoy and reap the rewards of frequent traveler programs like the Marriott Rewards program. When we head out for vacation every few years the first thing we do is check to see if a Marriott is in town (or even close). Not only is the bedding the best I’ve ever slept on but we earn rewards points good towards free nights with every visit.

Not only does Marriott offer loyal customers rewards, but you can gain valuable information on the rewards program and travel tips from fellow Marriott lovers at the newly launched Marriott Rewards Insiders Community.

In Nashville for business and want some good barbeque? According to DesertDragon, you’d be nuts to go anywhere but Jack’s in downtown. Layover in Copenhagen and afraid you’ll miss the Superbowl? Member jerrymorgan knows just the spot for you to party down with some ex-pats. These are just a couple of the tips you’ll pick up on Marriott Rewards Insiders where members can share candid travel advice and informed opinions about the Rewards program, along with their intimate knowledge of the Marriott family of hotels and resorts.

Discover

Search out your favorite destinations and learn about ones you may like to travel to some day. The community travel forums are bursting with valuable information that comes unbiased directly from fellow travelers. You can even search travel destinations by popular activities like: Golfing, Spas and Kid-Friendly Travel.

Share

The beauty of  this community is that everyone has something to offer. After updating your profile you can quickly and easily share your own travel experiences, helping families like your own find the best points of interest.

Connect

One thing I love about the Insiders Community is that you are getting real opinions from real families like your own.  Before my husband and I set off to Marco Island, FL last year the first thing we did was search out people who had been there themselves that could give us first hand knowledge on the food, activities, and beaches. This is exactly what the Marriott Rewards Insiders offers in one convenient place.

To celebrate the launch of the site, we’ve teamed up with Marriott to offer one lucky winner a prize.
