Nectar360 partners with Marriott Bonvoy ®

Partnership with global travel loyalty programme means Nectar members will soon be able to use and earn Nectar points on hotel and resort stays around the world

Nectar360 which owns and operates Nectar, the UK’s largest coalition loyalty scheme, has announced a partnership with Marriott Bonvoy that will give its Nectar members more flexibility on how they earn and use points for hotel bookings around the world.

From early 2025, Nectar members who are signed up to/or sign up to the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme and link their Nectar account will be able to earn Nectar points on bookings with participating hotels across more than 30 brands and 10,000 global destinations. They will also be able to convert Marriott Bonvoy points into Nectar points, and Nectar points into Marriott Bonvoy points. Linking Nectar and Marriott Bonvoy accounts will open up access to year-round promotions and Nectar members will also receive Nectar points upon signing up to the Marriott Bonvoy programme.

This new partnership will help drive acquisition, retention, long-term loyalty and brand engagement for both Nectar and Marriott Bonvoy, offering customers even more choice and flexibility on how they use their points.
