Marriott and Lufthansa partnership gets even more interesting: 3 reasons why you need to take advantage of it

Last fall Miles&More, Lufthansa's loyalty program, had announced a major partnership with Marriott.

We are not talking about a simple double dipping, i.e., of cross-point accumulation, but of An opportunity to earn Points to gain or renew status in the frequent flyer which in a few months will become the card of all frequent passengers in ITA and also an automatic status match for Senator and HON Circle in Marriott Bonvoy.

What's new

Only one number has changed, there was a 2 and now there is a 1, but it is a really important change.

To get Points with stays in the first version of the partnership you had to stay two nights, Now, on the other hand, all it takes is any stay, even one night's stay to trigger the bonus, this means with three one-night stays at any Marriott chain hotel in the world, up to 120 Points can be accumulated in 2026, or 1/3 of those needed to get to the level Frequent Traveller and 1/10th of those needed for Senator.

Because it is a promo to be taken advantage of

1. It costs nothing And it doesn't force you to give up any Bonvoy point accumulation or Miles&More points
2. Given the difficulty many users will have in renewing status by flying, being able to Getting these points with stays is a real gift
3. If at least 6 nights were required before, divided into 3 separate stays, now it only takes 3 nights

There are also benefits for co-branded cardholders, but at the moment this opportunity is reserved only for cards issued in Germany by Deutche Bank.

In conclusion

The promo was interesting last year, atdesso is really incredible. With three stays you put the same points in your pocket as you would with 3 round-trip economy tickets with a Star Alliance airline. Really top notch.
