Marriott Bonvoy members who link their Starbucks Rewards accounts can pick up 100 bonus points by making three qualifying Starbucks purchases from July 20 through July 26, then redeem points starting July 28 for a limited New York concert package through Marriott Bonvoy Moments.
For members, the key takeaway is simple: the earning side is small, but the redemption side is much richer and very limited. Marriott said only four grand prize packages will be available for One Night With Myles Smith.
How the Starbucks earning offer works
To qualify for the 100-point bonus, members need to:
- Link Marriott Bonvoy and Starbucks Rewards accounts.
- Make three qualifying purchases at Starbucks.
- Complete those purchases between July 20 and July 26.
That is a modest return in Bonvoy terms, so the practical appeal is less about the points total and more about whether members already use both programs and want an easy extra earn.
What members can redeem on July 28
Beginning July 28, members can use points through Marriott Bonvoy Moments to unlock access to One Night With Myles Smith.
Each of the four grand prize packages includes:
- Access to the show for the winner and a guest.
- A two-night stay at the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel.
- Round-trip airfare and transportation for two.
- A $1,000 cash prize.
- Access to an exclusive meet and greet with Myles Smith.
For Bonvoy members, that makes the real value proposition the bundled redemption rather than the Starbucks earn. The package combines entertainment, flights, local transport, cash, and a hotel stay in New York instead of offering a standard room redemption alone.
What to watch before you participate
The timing and limits matter more than the headline partnership.
The Starbucks earn window lasts one week, and the event redemption does not open until July 28. The concert package is also highly constrained, with just four grand prizes disclosed, so availability is the main catch.
The broader context is that Marriott is using its Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform to tie everyday partner activity to experience redemptions. For members, though, the decision is more practical: link accounts before July 20 if you want the 100-point bonus, and be ready when the New York redemption opens if the package is the real target.
