Marriott Senior discount rate rules and eligibility.
Receiving a senior discount at a Marriott hotel is a simple process as long as you adhere to a few basic rules and requirements.
- The program is available to guests who are 62 years of age or older.
- Upon check-in, you will need to provide proof of your age eligibility, such as a driver’s license.
- Eligible members are permitted to book up to two rooms per night. However, the availability of the discounted rate is subject to availability.
- It’s important to note that an AARP membership is not necessary for the senior rate. The discount eligibility is solely based on age.
- When making a reservation, it must be in the name of the senior guest using the senior rate.
While it may be possible for individuals staying with their parents (or other Senior Citizens) to use their Marriott Bonvoy account and receive the senior discount, it is against the program rules which require the booking to be made in the name of the senior guest.
If you wish to earn elite night credits or utilize elite status benefits, it is recommended that you contact the hotel directly to inquire if they would allow you to use your Marriott Bonvoy account.
However, if your intention is solely to earn points, it may not be worth pursuing this option as transferring Marriott Bonvoy points online is a straightforward process that should not pose any major issues.
